What the source says
As the gap between steel production and capacity widens, utilisation rates will remain low and may slide from 76% in 2025 to 74% or less in 2028, intensifying financial pressure across the steel industry.
Checked: the figure 76%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
