FMCG market you want to explore or analyze using data visualization.
3.2 Literature Review: Gather information from existing studies, reports, and literature related to
FMCG markets, consumer behavior, market trends, etc. This helps in understanding the current state
of the market and identifying gaps for your study.

BI, or Python libraries like Matplotlib or Seaborn based on the nature of your data and the
visualizations needed. Consider the types of visualizations suitable for your objectives (e.g., bar
charts, line graphs, heatmaps).
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Use the selected tools to conduct EDA. Explore the data to find
