Are we talking about the bowyers or the material suppliers? Because Big Jim mentioned many times that glass suppliers like Gordon are only producing bow making material as a courtesy/side hustle, they dont have to make them at all. In compared to the profit and volume of supplies they sell to other industry, they honestly wouldn't feel the impact if one day all bowyers stop ordering glass. I was very surprised at first when I heard this, but then I realized how small the market is for clear glass. That one of the core required material for bow making is a very minor industrial material.
Just throwing out unsupported numbers here, but let say a bowyer make 200 bows a year. They would need 4 sheets of glass per bow? So 800 sheet at $10 each. That's $8000. Top of my head, there are maybe.....100 bowyers in the US, and that might be a generous number. At most Gordon see an annual profit from the traditional bowyers is $800,000, and that is a VERY generous number. This is nothing compared to the millions they make from other industry....including the compound bow world.
