I’m sorry, but I know only a German word for this and can’t find any other. Although each language should at least have a similar concept like Preissegmentstaffelung, just like also in the case of the concept of Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, because otherwise describing the reality in an economy is difficult and close to impossible.
