Online Spending to Hit $23.8 Billion as Amazon Prime Day Expands to Four Days

U.S. consumers are preparing for four straight days of aggressive online shopping, with spending projected to skyrocket to $23.8 billion between July 8 and 11. 

This surge, driven by Amazon’s extended Prime Day event and counter-promotions from rivals, shows a retail environment now defined by deep discounts, digital tools, and tariff anxiety.

Compared to last year’s same-period figure of $18.5 billion, this year’s projection from Adobe Analytics is a 28.4% year-on-year jump. It surpasses Black Friday 2024’s entire online haul by more than double. “This is equivalent to two Black Fridays,” Adobe said in its forecast.

The Prime Day window, now stretched from the usual 48 hours to 96, comes as Amazon tries to hold ground against Walmart’s July 8–13 “Deals” event and Target’s “Circle Week” running July 6–12. 

All three are pushing loyalty incentives, exclusive deals, and early access to shoppers willing to spend before the July 9 tariff deadline set by former President Donald Trump. That date is getting closer, with unresolved trade negotiations casting a shadow over pricing certainty.

With prices on edge and wallets under pressure, shoppers are moving fast. They’re chasing discounts and being tactical at the same time. Mobile phones are expected to drive more than half of all purchases, accounting for $12.5 billion, as real-time alerts and notifications trigger impulse buying. 

Buy Now, Pay Later usage is also climbing, with Adobe estimating it will cover 8% of total online spend, up from 7.6% last year.

Adobe expects a massive uptick in affiliate-driven sales, noting that nearly 20% of this year’s revenue will come from influencer and affiliate links, a 16.6% increase from last year. 

Generative shopping tools, including bots and assistants embedded in apps and websites, are leading to a 3,200% increase in traffic to retail platforms compared to 2024’s Prime Day.

What are people buying? Apparel tops the discount chart with an average 24% markdown, followed by electronics at 22% and TVs at 17%. Appliances (16%), toys (15%), furniture (14%), and computers (12%) also feature heavily. Sporting goods round out the list at 10%. 

Back-to-school essentials—backpacks, headphones, lunch boxes—are flying off digital shelves as early buyers hunt for bargains before price hikes become a reality.

The numbers behind this retail explosion are based on Adobe’s analysis of over 1 trillion visits to U.S. e-commerce sites, spanning 100 million product listings and 18 categories. It’s not a sample, it’s the system.

Retailers, meanwhile, aren’t resting. They’re under pressure to match or beat Amazon on delivery times, perks, and price cuts.

The battleground isn’t just Prime Day, but the wider race for digital takeover in an economy where inflation, trade policies, and evolving consumer habits are changing everything in real time.
