As someone who used to work in sales and marketing at a hobby rocket company (AeroTech) the number of product sales has very little correlation with the number of NAR members.
NAR members make up a small percentage of sales. Most model rocket (1/4A-G motor) product sales go to non-NAR individuals.
I am glad the membership numbers for the NAR are increasing but it will have little direct effect on model rocket product sales.
