Is "marcaje" in this context translated literally or is there a different term please?
En general los mercados asiáticos están marcados por encima de Europa y Sudamérica por debajo.
España y Portugal al ser nuestro home market tiene un marcaje por debajo del resto de los países.
Thanks for any help

España y Portugal al ser nuestro home market tiene un marcaje por debajo del resto de los países.
Asian markets generally have prices above prices in Europe and under prices in Latin America.
Spain and Portugal (our own domestic market) have lower prices than prices in the rest of the world.

I really think you would be ok with "prices" regardless of the repetition

: You haven't explained why prices are different to pricing, and you can't use the word five times in two sentences.

: Your reference doesn't say anything about "marcar", and this is not the meaning.

Thank you, Phil. :-) It seems to me that the "Spanish" is not really "original". In the context, call it pricing or "margen de beneficios" (determined by the pricing), I don't quite see the "difference" on meaning.

Thank David. You may be right. On your option you note "prices", these are directly related to the markup, aren't they?

Spanish term (edited):
marcaje
pricing
See transitive verb definition 6 in my reference.
It doesn't mean "marked up". In practice, if you bought all your products for the same price and applied different markups in different parts of the world, it could do. But we don't know that here.

A la hora de fijar precios tomamos como referencia Francia ya que i)es la cuna del affordable luxury en Europa y ii)es un mercado representativo de las principales economías del mundo donde XXX quiere estar y a partir de ahí, se adapta a las circunstancias de cada mercado.
