Cyber Week (from Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday) generated $33.9 billion in online spending, down 1.4% YoY, as Black Friday dipped 1.3% YoY at $8.9 billion vs $9 billion (2020) and Thanksgiving Day stayed flat at $5.1 billion.
Consumer spending on Cyber Monday is not growing as fast as it did last year. It reaffirms that many consumers had fulfilled their shopping urge earlier in the season. When all is said and done however, we still expect to see a record season and year for e-commerce.”
—— said Vivek Pandya, lead analyst of Adobe Digital Insights.
Last Cyber Monday, retailers rang up $10.8 billion in sales on the web, as more people stayed home and avoided shopping in retailers' stores due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. It marked a record day for e-commerce purchases in the U.S.
