I'm sure manufacturing costs is like 10% or even less, but between the factories in e.g. China and the US or Europe, there's container transport overseas, import taxes and fees, and other such transportation and logistics overhead.
I freqently find myself in a supermarket and think that the packaging for the products there was more expensive than the product itself. Plus the logistics.
