Abstract
Data visualization has been emphasized as a crucial component of business analytics. It is widely used to present intricate information in a graphical format, effectively portraying complex data clearly and effectively. The advent of big data and the demand for real-time analytics have led to an increased need for advanced visualization tools. In this research, we will explore future trends in data visualization within a business context and provide an overview of the developments in areas such as AI, machine learning, Augmented Reality (AR) or Virtual Reality (VR) integration, and real-time interactive dashboarding. It examines how these technologies can further enhance business decision-making by providing clearer insights and enabling more advanced data analysis capabilities. Additionally, the study addresses the challenges businesses face in implementing these advanced tools, such as data quality issues and the need for user training and adoption. The intention is to offer valuable findings for businesses that utilize these technologies to advance their strategic planning and remain competitive in the data-driven landscape.
