German term or phrase: mengenkomponente
Dieser Paradigmenwechsel betrifft nicht nur die klassischen Homecare Anbieter sondern in gleichem Maße Hersteller, die – im Hilfsmittelmarkt bisher einmalig – von dem Gesetzgeber unumwunden aufgefordert worden sind, das Endkundengeschäft zu bedienen.

Ziel des Gesetzgebers ist es dabei, durch den Abschluss von Exklusivvereinbarungen und die daraus resultierende Mengenkomponente „Wirtschaftlichkeitsreserven“ zu heben.

Soweit Hilfsmittelverträge von Krankenkassen öffentlich ausgeschrieben werden, wird dies automatisch zu einer erheblichen Konzentration der Marktteilnehmer führen.

I'm leaning toward "economies of scale" or something similar. Even though I didn't find any documents confirming this translation it seems to make sense in this context, as there is an earlier paragraph stating that with an Exklusivvertrag the supplier has an assurance of the quantities involved and can therefore offer better pricing.
