Composition, Proportion, Part of Whole
Donut chart is a variation of pie chart with a whole in the center. Unlike pie charts, which require readers to compare area of each segment with one another, donut charts make comparison between categories comparatively easier by focusing only on arc length of each segment.
Donut chart in above example shows contribution of each product to the total revenue. Each segment of this chart represents percent contribution of each of the 5 products. The area in the center is used to provide additional information / context – year of reporting in this example.
