Amazon (AMZN, $3,204.42) rakes in $10.4 billion Prime Day sales globally

Amazon’s data and third-party estimates indicate  strong growth in Prime Day sales compared to 2019.

According to e-commerce website Digital Commerce 360, Amazon garnered $10.4 billion worth of sales globally on Oct. 13 and 14 as its Prime Day event began. The estimate represents a 45.2% increase relative to the $7.16 billion in sales estimated for Amazon’s July 2019 Prime Day event.

A day earlier, Amazon claimed that its marketplace sellers generated more than $3.5 billion in sales across the 19 countries in which Prime Day was held on Oct. 13 and 14. That is almost +60% annual increase. ( The estimate doesn’t include India’s Prime Day event, which took place in August.).

Digital Commerce 360 estimates marketplace sellers accounted for 35% of Amazon’s Prime Day sales   vs. 32% in 2019, but well below their share of Amazon’s annual e-commerce sales.
