The booming global semiconductor market will be "tense" with tight supply for the foreseeable future, the head of chip-making machine giant ASML told Reuters, with demand from AI, satellites and robots outpacing what the industry can produce. In a rare interview on the sidelines of a tech event in Antwerp, ASML Chief Executive Christophe Fouquet said that there would likely be sporadic bottlenecks throughout the supply chain of the chip market which could hit $1.5 trillion by 2030. "Demand on AI is coming so strongly that we will be in a supply-limited market for quite a while," Fouquet said, citing plans like Elon Musk's huge proposed "TeraFab" AI plan and Starlink satellites as potentially driving a new leg of demand.
