Citable research brief

Core conclusion · Tlines extraction

ING research estimates ASML's direct contribution to Dutch value-added could reach 1.6% in 2026, up from 1.3% in 2025, and its total footprint including domestic suppliers and investment could reach 2.2%. The machinery industry already accounts for around 2.7% of Dutch value-added at current prices in 2025. The authors flag concentration risk, geopolitical export and input constraints, and domestic talent and space bottlenecks, though the Netherlands is more diversified than Finland was at Nokia's peak.

Key arguments

ASML is a macroeconomic force: direct value-added share rose from 0.1% in 1995 to 1.3% in 2025 and may reach 1.6% in 2026.
Indirect channels add more: intermediate-input effects at 0.3% in 2025 and 0.4% in 2026, plus 0.2% via investment, bring the total to 2.2% in 2026.
Dependence on one company is a vulnerability; Nokia's fall from near 4% of Finnish GDP to 0.5% illustrates permanent-shock risk.
Geopolitical fragmentation threatens both export access (US, Germany, China, South Korea) and critical foreign inputs, including existing US limits on advanced machine exports to China.

Key numbers

ASML direct share of Dutch value-added, 2026E: 1.6%
ASML total footprint in Dutch value-added, 2026E: 2.2%
ASML direct share, 2025: 1.3%
Machinery industry share of Dutch value-added, 2025 (current prices): ~2.7%
ASML turnover, 2025: €33.7bn

Main risks

Concentration risk: semiconductor cyclicality could increasingly sway Dutch growth.
Geopolitical fragmentation could restrict export markets and disrupt critical imported inputs.
Domestic supply constraints—talent, space and other bottlenecks—may cap further rapid cluster growth.
