Racketball was nowhere near as popular as pickleball, not even close. Pickleball has been popular for a while now and actually isn't all that new. My good friend in Indy has been playing for over 8 years, and it's very popular there too. My wife plays, I don't.
But the reasons I think it's so popular and will remain so is that anyone can play regardless of skill level and fitness and still have fun, you don't have to move as much as tennis, plus it's a very social sport, so that gives it an edge over other sports. Also, the fact that it's caught on with all ages now is a good sign that it's going to be around.
Imo, it will continue to grow.
