price out of the market

Too costly now

To price out of the market is to set prices so high that potential buyers or participants can no longer afford to compete or purchase.

Rising costs can price people out: Young families are being priced out of the housing market.

A business might price itself out by charging more than customers will pay.

The phrase often describes economic forces rather than deliberate action.
