Simple -- don't make a pie chart.
This is great advice. But it you (or your boss) insists on pie charts,
then you should provide us with a reproducible example that
illustrates your problem.
dat <- read.table(text="Product predicted_MarketShare
Predicted_MS_Percentage
A 2.827450e-02 2.8
B 4.716403e-06 0.0
C 1.741686e-01 17.4
D 1.716303e-04 0.0",
header=TRUE)
pie(dat[[2]], labels=dat[[1]])
Does not give overlapping labels, so I don't yet have an example of
the problem you are trying to solve.
Best,

-- Bert (Seriously -- this is an awful display. Consider, instead, a bar plot plotting cumulative sums of percentages with products/bars ordered from largest percentage to smallest; or plotting just the percentages in that order, depending on which is more informative.)

I have the following dataframe:
Product predicted_MarketShare Predicted_MS_Percentage
A 2.827450e-02 2.8
B 4.716403e-06 0.0
C 1.741686e-01 17.4
D 1.716303e-04 0.0
.......
Because there are so many products, and most of predicted Market share is
around 0%.
When I make pie chart, the labels of those product with 0% market share
are overlapping.
How do I make the labels are not overlapping?
Kind regards.
