Amazon’s 2016 Prime Day, a promotional event for customers subscribed to Amazon service, took place on Tuesday July 12th and was Amazon’s biggest global sales day ever, surpassing Prime Day 2015 by more than 60%.

Amazon shattered global sales records on Prime Day. Among the most important data, Amazon shows that on July 12 the largest number of devices were sold internationally.

Shoppers globally bought:
- over 2 million toys
