YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
API dependence heightens supply and cost volatility
- Vietnam imports more than 90% of its active pharmaceutical ingredients, exposing CDMOs to currency swings, extended lead times and supplier disruption.
- To reduce this exposure, YCP maps critical-material risks, qualifies supply options and designs sourcing and inventory strategies around product economics.
Raising GMP capabilities for regulated-market contracts
- Vietnam has more than 200 pharmaceutical manufacturers, but domestic licensing may not satisfy EU-GMP or PIC/S expectations for validation and data integrity.
- YCP translates target-market requirements into practical quality roadmaps, covering gap assessments, validation priorities, governance and investment sequencing.
Building viable scale in complex dosage-form production
- Domestic producers supply roughly half of medicines by volume, yet complex injectables, biologics and high-potency products remain heavily import-reliant.
- YCP supports portfolio selection, make-or-buy decisions and facility strategies to focus capital on differentiated, commercially viable capabilities.
Aligning capacity with chronic-care demand shifts
- Vietnam surpassed 100 million people in 2023, while noncommunicable diseases cause nearly three quarters of deaths, increasing demand for chronic therapies.
- YCP combines demand forecasting, portfolio prioritisation and network modelling to size assets, select dosage forms and phase capacity confidently.
