vor- und nachgelagerten Wertschöpfungsstufen

English translation: my take is

Bus/Financial
German term or phrase: vor- und nachgelagerten Wertschöpfungsstufen
Hierbei ist nicht der monopolistische Engpassbereich gemeint, in dem ja gerade kein Wettbewerb besteht, son­dern der Wettbewerb auf vor- und nachgelagerten Wertschöpfungsstufen, welche auf die Leistung des monopo­listischen Engpassbereichs als Input angewiesen sind.

Can anyone help with an attempted translation of the sentence? Thanks in advance.

English translation:my take is
Explanation:
preceding and succeeding stages of value creation

upstream/downstream is usually used in reference to integrated companies, eg an international energy company like Exxon has upstream operations like their exploration and drilling units and downstream operations like refining and chemicals. Here, the talk is about 'Zulieferer' of raw or finished goods which depend on the 'input' (orders) of quasi-monopolistic entities that can dictate prices at will to their suppliers, eg car companies constantly pressure their suppliers for price concessions.

agree  silvia glatzhofer: preceding and succeeding is definitely fine, but I would call it value generation instead of "creation"

  -> agreed, except US portfolio managers and CEO's constantly talk about 'value creation', so it's the preferred phrase. But your option is equally valid.
