YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Meeting stricter registration and lifecycle controls
- China regulates devices across three risk classes; Class III products require NMPA registration, product testing and, often, clinical evaluation before launch.
- Early regulatory strategy, gap assessments and evidence planning help YCP clients reduce rework loops and build practical, launch-ready compliance roadmaps.
Staying competitive as centralized buying resets prices
- Centralized procurement has reshaped consumables economics, with several national tenders cutting winning prices by more than 80% and tightening margins.
- Against this pricing pressure, YCP combines tender intelligence, cost-to-serve analysis and portfolio choices to protect value and improve bid competitiveness.
Building resilient, localized innovation and supply chains
- China invested 2.68% of GDP in R&D in 2024, yet many high-end devices still rely on imported core components, exposing supply and localization gaps.
- YCP turns clinical demand into product and sourcing priorities, helping manufacturers evaluate make-or-buy options, qualify suppliers and target R&D investment.
Scaling reliable production for an ageing care market
- People aged 60 and over reached 310 million in China in 2024, or 22.0% of the population, lifting demand for chronic-care and home-use devices.
- To respond reliably, YCP supports capacity planning, quality-system improvement and operational redesign that align production expansion with market demand.
