D&D 5E is probably the best researched RPG in terms of market research. 5E design process was heavily built on regular surveys about the latest drafts.

Add to that the advertising, the fact that it's the best known and best supported game...

Don't hold your breath waiting for D&D's new audience to go looking. Most who like D&D will stay playing it. It's the ones who try it, like the idea but not the rules, and goes looking for better rules... there's always that component, and the market overall seems to be growing, but not at the expense of D&D nor Pathfinder....
