Japanese term or phrase: 躊躇われる
The above term features in the sentence as below. The paragraph talks about the AR (Augmented Reality) market. From what I understand, the decline in price of AR devices will reduce the implementation barrier and help the market to grow. But I am not sure how to interpret the usage of the word "躊躇われる" in the current context.

現在のARヘッドセットはセイコーエプソンのMOVERIOシリーズを除き、数千台の規模での発注が法人であっても躊躇われる価格設定がなされていることが多い。そのため、価格の低廉化が進むことで最大の導入障壁が下がる。

Appreciate any valuable inputs.

Explanation:
Pricing which gives even corporations pause...

I think the previous answer ("hesitate") works perfectly well, too, but wanted to give this alternative.
