Silicon is generally Expensive

REASON-

Essentially silicone costs more due to the high energy costs associated with its manufacture (conversion of sand to high purity silica, then further refinement of silica before the chemical reactions that polymerise it), there are also a number of expensive components needed during the manufacture of silicone (copper metal, hydrogen fluoride). Also, silicone only makes up a small part of the global chemical industry – there is a significant economy of scale in the petrochemical industry at raw material production that silicone just doesn’t/can’t match.

NOTE-

Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust (about 28% by mass) so if it is so abundant we ask the question – why is it so expensive? The question has been answered above
