Market Share — Pie Chart Example
A pie chart is only honest when the parts genuinely add up to one whole. Market share is the textbook case: every point of share belongs to someone.

Reading the chart
What this example shows
- Five slices is close to the practical limit. Past six, labels collide and a bar chart or treemap reads better.
- The two leaders hold nearly two thirds of the market, which the eye picks up faster from a pie than from a table.
- Rolling the long tail into "Everyone else" keeps the chart readable and still sums to exactly 100%.
