The EU accounts for almost 80% of Hungary's exports and imports. Leaving the EU single market would mean a severe economic crisis and probably a regime change.
Even if Orban wanted to leave the EU, he cannot.

Personally, I'd argue the opposite, which is why Orbán is not leaving. Hungary is vastly more dependent on the single market than the UK, borders only EU countries and a UK style exit would cripple it. Once A50 were triggered, imagine the rest of the EU pressuring him on a no deal exit...
