Online spending in the U.S. surged 11% year over year to $14.2 billion during Amazon 's 48-hour Prime Day event, topping estimates and setting a new record, according to Adobe Analytics.
Amazon's Prime Day event, which ran Tuesday and Wednesday, has become a big revenue driver for other retailers, which often hold competing sales timed around Prime Day.
Amazon said Thursday it also saw "record-breaking" Prime Day revenue, though it didn't disclose total sales from the event.
