Maybe, maybe not. Historically the NPC groups that have been forced to close down or merge didn't do it right away -- the closings and mergings came later, in the 1950s after recovering from the Great Depression, in the 1970s after recovering from the anti-Greek backlash of the 1960s. It would be feasible that there's a group or two that are struggling with the 1990s membership decline and it would only take one event to tip them over the edge.
Personally I wouldn't be surprised if a number of NPC groups closed in the coming years, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. It really could go either way.
