CHAPTER 2 · MARKET ANALYSIS
Position in the Croatian market
The client's current market position shows stable annual growth of 8%, but below the category average. Three key competitors are growing double-digits, primarily due to earlier investment in digital distribution and AI-driven personalization. Without intervention, the gap widens 3-4 percentage points annually.
The gap isn't in the product — the gap is in how the product reaches the market.
— From leadership interview, 18 April 2025
Investment in personalization and analytics can recover 12-15 months of the gap within two quarters of execution. Critically, this must be approached as a strategic distribution transformation, not a technology project.
