Though Mainframes are very bulky in size and weight and not so easy to use GUI, why are they still in market..
I heard that after few years down the line, mainframes will be completely replaced by the newest emerging technologies..Is it?

Just because the hardware is upgrading doesn't mean the companies necessarily change with the hardware. Companies often upkeep networks if they work well and they use them to support backbone networks in their company. It takes a lot of training to get employees caught up with new hardware so it's often more effective to slowly integrate new machines instead of training old workers.
You don't kill a workhorse just because a new horse is born every day.
