and "already" wouldn't go amiss ...

or: "developed"

as in "market development"

or "strongly" as an alternative ...

you could use "competitors" as an alternative

Thanks. I also think that "already" doesn't fit...

market (place) already worked on/at/over strongly by the competition

Not enough information here to say which market this is; equally, which preposition to use would depnd on the tone of the rest of the presentation; as is, I see no reason to deviate too much from the original:

worked on = concentrated on
worked at = similar, implications of persistence
worked over = similar, implcations of exploitation
