Cyber Monday set a record with $14.2 billion in U.S. online sales, driven by big discounts and increased "buy now, pay later" use.

Cyber Monday 2025 is projected to hit $14.2 billion in U.S. online sales, up 6.3% from last year, driven by deep discounts on electronics and apparel. Rising credit card debt and “buy now, pay later” financing, expected to reach $20.2 billion this holiday season, are sustaining spending. Mobile devices account for 56.1% of online purchases, with total U.S. holiday spending forecast to surpass $1 trillion despite slightly slower growth.
