Explanation:

Price Ceiling refers to a regulation made by government to put a "maximum price" for a certain type of product.

One benefit of price ceiling is to prevent the producers from imposing high profit margin that couldn't be afforded by the customers.

But, there's a downside. To produce product with higher quality, producers typically need to sacrifice higher cost to create it. They need to increase the price of the products to make a return from that higher quality products. With price ceilings, many producers wouldn't be able to make such quality improvement.
