...Fitch s 2009 rating outlook for the semiconductor industry is negative due to a meaningfully weaker macroeconomic environmen t, resulting in lower revenues for all semiconductor markets and, in particular, PCs and mobile handsets, which represent nearly 60% of global semico nductor consumption. While the overall market will be lower, Fitch expects developi ng economies will experience lower albeit still positive unit growth.
