Abstract: 
This review paper explores the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing market analysis for strategic business decision-making. It begins with an overview of market analysis and the integration of AI technologies, such as machine learning, natural language processing, and predictive analytics, significantly improving data collection, processing, and analysis. The discussion highlights the capabilities of AI in generating accurate, efficient, and deeper insights, which are essential for informed decision-making. The paper also delves into AI-driven techniques like data integration, predictive analytics, sentiment analysis, and competitive analysis, demonstrating how these methods optimize market segmentation, customer personalization, and risk management. Despite the considerable advantages, integrating AI into market analysis presents challenges, including data quality issues, privacy concerns, and technological limitations. Ethical considerations, such as bias and transparency, are also examined. Finally, the paper discusses future trends in AI, emphasizing advancements in algorithms, real-time data analysis, and the importance of ethical AI, which will further enhance market analysis and strategic business decision-making.
