From a long-term perspective, there is a possibility that badminton prices will stabilize at a high level. On the one hand, the scarcity of natural feather raw materials is difficult to fundamentally improve in the short term. Problems such as the reduction in breeding scale and the decline in feather quality persist, keeping costs high. On the other hand, even if the technology of artificial badminton develops, high-quality natural badminton still has an irreplaceable position in professional events and the high-end market, so its price may remain high. However, if the technology of artificial badminton makes a major breakthrough and achieves large-scale mass production, occupying most of the mid-to-low-end market, the price of traditional badminton may be impacted and decline to a certain extent. Therefore, it is not absolute that prices will stabilize at a high level, and it still depends on the development and changes of technology and the market.
