GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Streichsortiment
English translation:non-sellers/deadwood

German to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Internet, e-Commerce / Article about market placement of products on Amazon
German term or phrase: Streichsortiment
Kernsortiment, Randsortiment, Streichsortiment. The sentence just lists these three terms. I have translated Kernsortiment as "core product range" and Randsortiment as "peripheral product range", but can't find any reference to Streichsortiment on any searches in dictionaries. The article is about product placement on the Amazon Marketplace.

non-sellers/deadwood
Explanation:
With Steffen, regarding the lack of context. This might be an option. It really depends on if the products are already discontinued, are planned to be discontinued, or are simply being assessed according to their sales rates.

products/range to be discontinued


Explanation:
Or, even snappier, "discontinued range". This would be my tentative suggestion based on the limited available information.

According to your context, the three clusters/subranges would thus be core, peripheral/marginal, and discontinued.

  -> Thank you :-) / I agree with you regarding the time aspect - these could be non-sellers, slow movers or anything along those lines.
