It is not production cost that drive up price, you are covering Vandoren's research costs in making this design, testing, and product marketing.

Carbon fiber is fairly cheap to produce once the molds are made, I would guess these only cost $5-$10 per ligature to make. But they aren't going to sell millions of them, more like a few hundred so the development cost is a substantial chunk to add on.

And of course, add whatever markup they want to because of name recognition and exclusivity of owning a $500 dollar strap.
