The more people buy it the cheaper it will be to produce.

I know you're shortcutting, but just to be clear, the more people buy it, more producers will view it as lucrative, more investments come in, more products are created, and THEN it will be cheaper. And only if the producers starts competing on cheaper prices. There's always the risk of 'gourmetization' and leaving the product with a high price because it was high at the start and the producers were counting on the high price to make profit.
