No it won't without buyers. Importing is just as easy to make illegal, likely easier. EU does this for a lot of products and so does the US.

Q: Why would the rest of the world stop making/selling/buying these products just because the US/Canada/EU/UK were to ban them?

We only need to look at the regions that are expanding use of coal .. and even still mining and using asbestos!

It likely won't stop but the market is going to become much smaller for anyone doing business with those nations. The manufacturer would either have to change their process, go bankrupt, or at least see profits cut by a huge margin.
