"The Slovenian HCP market is approaching saturation, meaning vendors must engage in aggressive marketing and competitive pricing to increase their market share. As prices fall and third-party consumables eat into profits, vendors must also offer competitive and advanced business solutions to gain the competitive edge over rivals." – Katarina Rojko, Analyst, IDC Adriatics
