We consider products of independent square random non-Hermitian matrices. More precisely, let n≥ 2 and let X1,…,Xn be independent N× N random matrices with independent centered entries with variance N-1. It was shown by Götze and Tikhomirov and by Soshnikov and O'Rourke that the limit of the empirical spectral distribution of the product X1⋯ Xn is supported in the unit disk. We prove that if the entries of the matrices X1,…,Xn satisfy uniform subexponential decay condition, then the spectral radius of X1⋯ Xn converges to 1 almost surely as N→ ∞.
