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.
Checked: the figure 85%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
