Key Challenges We Address

Winning in a Tender-Led Pharmaceutical Market


  • Public healthcare schemes cover more than 99% of Thailand’s population, making hospital tenders and reimbursement rules central to CDMO demand and pricing.
  • YCP helps CDMOs prioritize attractive therapy areas, map tender dynamics, and build account strategies that balance volume opportunities with sustainable margins.

Managing Price Pressure in a Generic-Heavy Market


  • Generics represent roughly 80% of medicines by volume in Thailand, while buyer consolidation and reference pricing continue to constrain manufacturers’ returns.
  • Through market sizing, portfolio analysis, and pricing architecture, YCP helps CDMOs identify differentiated offerings and protect profitability across customer segments.

Reducing Dependence on Imported Ingredients


  • Thailand imports more than 90% of its active pharmaceutical ingredients, exposing local manufacturers to currency swings, supply disruptions, and longer lead times.
  • YCP supports supply-chain diversification, supplier assessments, and make-versus-buy decisions to strengthen resilience while improving total sourcing economics.

Converting Regulatory Readiness into Growth


  • Thailand’s alignment with PIC/S standards raises expectations for quality systems, validation, and documentation, especially for facilities targeting export-oriented clients.
  • By linking compliance investments to commercial priorities, YCP helps CDMOs define capability roadmaps, target suitable clients, and quantify returns on upgrades.
