YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Managing cost volatility across energy and raw materials
- Thailand’s Manufacturing Production Index fell 1.8% in 2024, while volatile energy, freight and feedstock prices continue to compress margins for material producers.
- YCP links market intelligence with cost-to-serve analysis, helping teams redesign sourcing, pricing and inventory strategies to protect margins under changing conditions.
Building lower-carbon operations for export competitiveness
- The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism enters its definitive phase in 2026, raising carbon-data and decarbonisation requirements for steel, aluminium and cement exports.
- Through carbon baselining, abatement roadmaps and operating-model design, YCP helps manufacturers turn compliance requirements into credible competitiveness plans.
Competing in a market shaped by lower-cost imports
- Price pressure from imported industrial goods, particularly across Asian supply chains, is intensifying as domestic demand recovers unevenly across construction and manufacturing.
- YCP helps businesses identify defensible segments, sharpen portfolio choices and improve commercial execution to compete beyond price alone.
Securing capabilities for advanced industrial investment
- BOI investment applications reached THB 1.14 trillion in 2024, increasing competition for skilled technical talent, industrial sites and reliable local supplier networks.
- By combining market-entry assessment, site strategy and capability planning, YCP supports investors in building scalable, locally grounded operations in Thailand.
