What the source says

In rare earth refining, new projects in the United States and production increases in Malaysia reduced the share of the top supplier from over 90% in 2023 to 85% in 2025, and if planned projects come online as scheduled, it is projected to fall to 70% by 2035.

Verbatim extraction verified: The figure 70% is directly attested in the quoted passage (IEA Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2026 report findings).
