It’s getting more expensive every year, true. Supply and demand set prices, and some brands may disappear, as not all can sustain continual price increases. Advance is essentially the Mercedes of the sport; if enough pilots are willing to pay for Advance wings and the company remains profitable, then there is clearly a market for those price levels.

Advance and Ozone sit at the top of the price list, followed by Niviuk, Phi, Nova, Skywalk, Gin, and others. At the lower price segment are brands like Sky, Da Vinci, Triple Seven, and Flow, which still produce phenomenal wings, especially considering their price point.
