There's a whole community of "CRT enthusiasts" who search these out on Craigslist now, and buy them for retro video gaming setups. A big Trinitron CRT 27 to 36 inches in size, in good condition, is actually appreciating in market value now due to how many of them have been trashed.

Sony PVMs (professional video monitors), such as used in a tv production studio have been increasing in market value. Similar tubes but with more advanced electronics.

To the best of my knowledge there are zero remaining manufacturers of CRTs in the world.
