In recent times, a considerable number of research studies have been carried out to address the issue of Missing Value Imputation (MVI). MVI aims to provide a primary solution for datasets that have one or more missing attribute values. The advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) drive the development of new and improved machine learning (ML) algorithms and methods. The advancements in ML have opened up significant opportunities for effectively imputing these missing values. The main objective of this article is to conduct a comprehensive and rigorous review, as well as analysis, of the state-of-the-art ML applications in MVI methods. This analysis seeks to enhance researchers' understanding of the subject and facilitate the development of robust and impactful interventions in data preprocessing for Data Analytics. The review is performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) technique. More than 100 articles published between 2014 and 2023 are critically reviewed, considering the methods and findings. Furthermore, the latest literature is examined to scrutinize the trends in MVI methods and their evaluation. The accomplishments and limitations of the existing literature are discussed in detail. The survey concludes by identifying the current gaps in research and providing suggestions for future research directions and emerging trends in related fields of interest.
