YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Import Reliance Makes Supply Continuity Harder to Protect
- More than 90% of medicines used in Cambodia are imported, leaving availability exposed to overseas lead times, currency movements, clearance and handoff delays.
- YCP maps end-to-end flows, diversifies sourcing and sets inventory policies that balance service levels, working capital and risk across critical products.
A Dispersed Market Raises Last-Mile Service Complexity
- About 61% of Cambodia’s 17.8 million people live in rural areas, making reliable delivery to provincial facilities and pharmacies costly and difficult to forecast.
- YCP segments demand and channels, redesigns distribution networks and builds route, hub and stock strategies that improve reach without inflating logistics costs.
Heat Exposure Tests Cold-Chain Integrity at Every Handoff
- Many vaccines and biologics require 2–8°C storage, while Cambodia’s hot season can exceed 35°C, increasing excursion risk during transport and temporary storage.
- YCP translates product requirements into lane-level controls, qualification plans, monitoring dashboards and response protocols to protect quality and reduce loss.
High Out-of-Pocket Spending Complicates Demand Planning
- Out-of-pocket payments represent roughly 60% of health spending in Cambodia, so price sensitivity can rapidly alter brand choice, volumes and replenishment needs.
- YCP combines market sizing, price-pack analysis and scenario-based forecasting to align portfolios, inventory and access strategies with changing demand by channel.
