And the lack of a perfect correspondence between winning competitions and having a successful concert career is mainly due to the fact that the skill set requiring for one is inevitably not perfectly identical to the skill set required for the other. Also, only a small fraction of competition winners will ever have a concert career since there just aren't that many opportunities, in classical music, anyway.
Most top classical music performers got a major boost in their careers by at least doing very well at a major competition at some point, if not winning it.
