Is the market for light fighters shrinking?

given the discussion trending in this forum, is the market for light fighters shrinking now and in the future?

for the sake of this discussion, a light fighter has an empty weight of 7,000kg or less.
This means: Tejas, JF-17, Golden Eagle, Chingkuo, Gripen is at the higher end, but the Gripen E is significantly heavier.

aircraft that falls outside of this range are the M2K, F-16, Gripen E

according to our formerly banned friend, Munir, he claimed in the past

the JF-17 will be exported to 25 countries with 1000 aircraft produced

in reality there are only 2, maybe 3, with a fraction of that 1,000 produced.
while a very overly optimistic, and laughable, statement, still it is unfortunate that the jf-17 hasn’t been that successful export wise..

elsewhere
KAI golden eagle is Luke warm, 3 exports in low numbers
India is reluctant to adopt the Tejas and wants more heavier aircraft
Gripen has seen better, with 5 exports of the A-C models, but again in small numbers

have people over estimated the light fighter market?

has changes to technology and strategy demand heavier?
