Really? You’re not aware of the capitalist supply and demand economic system?
Take baby formula for instance. Right now there is far more demand than supply so one can that lasts just a week to feed a baby is now $56. Amazingly I can’t find a chart to show how much that price has risen by year. Looks like it’s being scrubbed from the Internet.
Bottom line is price is always dictated by the supply and demand. When the demand outstrips the supply the cost goes up. You can have all the “incentives” you like but if the supply is what it is the price will go up.

What’s to stop capital and investments from flowing into companies that SUPPLY the needed product, IF the demand is there and there are not enough suppliers ?
And if there’s enough profit in making it, would not competition from more than one supplier drive down the price?
