The reason why PET coated wires are relatively expensive compared to other wires can be attributed to the following points:

1. Material cost: The price of PET material itself may be higher than that of materials used in traditional wires, such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or PE (polyethylene). Due to the excellent properties of PET materials, such as electrical insulation, wear resistance, friction resistance, and dimensional stability, their cost is relatively high.

2. Production process: The production process of PET coated wires may be more complex, requiring higher technical requirements and more precise operations. Copper plating on PET film to ensure uniform coating and strong adhesion may increase production costs.

3. Performance advantages: PET coated wires have excellent electrical insulation performance, wear resistance, friction resistance, and dimensional stability, which make them more competitive in specific fields such as electronics, communication, and aerospace applications. However, these performance advantages also come at a higher cost.

4. Market demand and supply: If the market demand for PET coated wires is higher than the supply, the price may be affected by the supply-demand relationship and rise. Meanwhile, the production of PET coated wires requires certain technological and equipment inputs, which may also limit their supply and further push up prices.

5. Brand and quality factors: Some well-known brands or high-end PET coated wires may use higher quality raw materials and finer production processes, which will increase the cost of the product. Meanwhile, these brand and quality factors may also affect consumer perception and acceptance of the product, thereby affecting the price.
