What are the advantages of using Mekko charts?

Mekko charts, also known as Marimekko or mosaic plots, are useful for visualizing multi-dimensional data. They are particularly effective in showing different proportions or market segment sizes in a single view. The width of the bars represents one dimension, while the height represents another, allowing for a more comprehensive view of the data. This can help in identifying patterns, trends, and outliers more effectively than some other chart types.
