Drying cabinets are not huge selling appliances in USA, well not in ages anyway, hence high prices. The things just don't sell in high enough numbers that production costs can be recouped on volume.
Asko had or still offers drying cabinets for sale in North America. www.asko.com/in/laundry/d... Then you have this from Samsung: www.samsung.com/us/home-a... | ||

Two days ago I got one of those maytag drying centers. At first I was like "do I really need it?" But it was only $20 on Facebook marketplace and it works PERFECTLY. | ||

Like spin driers Americans never really took to drying cabinets. Most just didn't see the point when a standard tumble dryer "dried" laundry.
Thing is drying cabinets were long part of large laundries, found in great homes, wash houses, apartment buildings... on both sides of pond long before tumble dryers were thought about. See 2:12 in YT clip.... Some were heated by gas, others used heat generated from a cast iron stove that also heated wash water and irons. Maytag Neptune drying center was a huge hit with many American consumers. People were and still are shocked it was discontinued. www.maytag.com/washers-an... www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadi... www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-x... | ||

DIY As stupid as it might sound, but a low power well protected space heater in a respective cabinet (like one of those metal locker type things) might be a cheap, solid alternative. Or instead of the heater a good dehumidifier set very low. | ||

NEVER
Install even the lowest wattage heaters in enclosed spaces such as a locker cabinet.
That’s got to be the stupidest idea I’ve ever seen on here. Thermostats fail. Any number of other issues may cause fire from not using the heater for its intended purpose nor the cabinets intended purpose which may be painted in substances not suitable to be combined with a heat source in such close proximity. Just not worth the risk. What ever happened to a fast spin and a clothes horse if tumble drying is not available? | ||

Well if one could lay hands on one
There's always a Flatley airer/drier! *LOL*
