YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Winning Attention Across China’s Fragmented Media Ecosystem
- China’s online retail sales reached RMB 15.5 trillion in 2024, while consumers split time across short video, social commerce, search and private traffic channels.
- YCP maps priority audiences and channel economics, helping teams design integrated media, content and conversion plans that improve reach without diluting investment.
Turning Value-Conscious Demand Into Sustainable Growth
- With total retail sales growing 3.5% in 2024, consumers remain selective, comparing prices, product claims and service experiences before committing to purchases.
- YCP combines consumer insight, segmentation and pricing analysis to sharpen value propositions and build sales strategies that protect both demand and margins.
Building Trusted, Actionable Customer Data Capabilities
- China’s Personal Information Protection Law raises the bar for consent, data handling and cross-border transfers, limiting reliance on fragmented customer data.
- YCP helps align customer-data strategy, operating processes and compliant activation, enabling commercial teams to turn first-party insights into measurable action.
Creating Consistent Execution Across Local Markets and Teams
- China’s 31 provincial-level markets differ in income, retail structure and media habits, making a single national go-to-market model difficult to execute effectively.
- YCP translates national ambitions into locally relevant channel, partner and sales-force plans, with practical governance that keeps execution aligned at scale.
With China projected to account for
27%
of global consumer goods sales in 2025*, navigating local platforms and behaviors is pivotal for market success.
