ASML, a chip equipment manufacturer, could contribute as much as 1.6% directly to the Dutch economy this year, up from 1.3% in 2025, highlighting the Netherlands' increasing reliance on ASML, ING said in a report on Monday. Surging artificial intelligence (AI) demand has boosted ASML's market capitalization to 547 billion euros ($613 billion), making it Europe's most valuable company. Researchers cited Nokia in Finland as an example, warning of the risks of an economy becoming increasingly dependent on a single company.
