French term or phrase: en pleine concentration
'Dans un marché d’éditeurs de logiciels **en pleine concentration**, cette récompense démontre que .....'
I can't work out whether it's the market or the éditeurs de logiciels which are en pleine concentration as I don't understand the precise meaning of the term in this context.
Any ideas will be welcomed!

TIA

a merging market
Explanation:
Hello,

I think it's the market that is "en pleine concentration", which seems to mean it's in the process of merging.

Is this a merging market?

I wouldn't translate the "pleine" as it's clearly implied.

I hope this helps.

Asker: Thanks B D. I'm going to make a note of this for future reference as I can see that it could quite easily have meant that in other circumstances. A useful term. Thanks again!
