Facebook Ads cost-per-app-install benchmarks: Transportation and Logistics in Colombia vs. global

This analysis looks at cost-per-app-install trends for industry Transportation and Logistics and target country Colombia compared to the global trend. The analysis is based on $3B worth of advertising data from our dataset, which provides strong directional benchmarks.

Main takeaways

  • Selected series availability: no monthly observations are available for Transportation and Logistics in Colombia during the period, so direct comparisons to the global baseline cannot be computed.
  • Global baseline level: average cost-per-app-install of about $11.85 over the last 13 months, ranging from a low of $1.98 (Sep 2024) to a high of $26.21 (Jun 2025).
  • Momentum: from the first month (Sep 2024) to the last (Sep 2025), the global series rose by roughly +1,062%, ending elevated at $22.99.
  • Volatility: high month-to-month variability, with an average absolute change of roughly 74% per month.
  • Seasonality: costs climbed into November (Q4), eased in December–January, then spiked notably in June and again remained elevated into late Q3.

Selected series: Transportation and Logistics, Colombia (CO)

  • Data coverage: no cost-per-app-install data points are present for Colombia in this period. As a result, above/below-market positioning cannot be determined for the selected segment.
  • Interpretation: the global baseline serves as the only directional reference for this timeframe.

Global baseline overview (all industries/countries)

  • Average: approximately $11.85 per install across Sep 2024–Sep 2025.
  • Highs and lows:
  • Low: $1.98 in Sep 2024.
  • Q4 lift: $6.20 in Oct and $14.28 in Nov, followed by a December easing to $8.52.
  • Early-year softness: $6.36 in Jan 2025 before rebounding to $11.36 in Feb.
  • Mid-year spike: $26.21 in Jun 2025 (period high).
  • Late-year elevation: $15.00 in Aug 2025 and $22.99 in Sep 2025.
  • Notable spikes/dips:
  • +151% jump from May to June (to $26.21).
  • -53% drop from June to July (to $12.35).
  • +53% rise from August to September (to $22.99).

Seasonality and volatility

  • Seasonal pattern: consistent with typical holiday dynamics, costs increased into November, then eased in December–January. A pronounced mid-year surge occurred in June, with elevated levels through late Q3.
  • Volatility: the series is highly variable, with repeated double‑digit month-to-month changes, underscoring a dynamic pricing environment in Facebook app-install auctions.

Comparison: Colombia vs. global

  • Because the Colombia Transportation and Logistics series has no observations in the timeframe, no relative assessment (above market, below average, or in line) can be made against the global baseline.
  • The global baseline therefore provides the only directional benchmark for understanding likely ranges and seasonal shifts.

Understanding the Data

Insights & analysis of Facebook advertising costs

Facebook advertising costs vary based on many factors including industry, target audience, ad placement, and campaign objectives. In the Transportation and Logistics industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. For campaigns targeting Colombia, advertisers should consider local market factors and user behavior. Different campaign objectives lead to varying costs based on how Facebook optimizes for your specific goals. The data shown represents median values across multiple campaigns, and individual results may vary based on ad quality, audience targeting, and campaign optimization.

Why we use median instead of average

We use the median CTR because the underlying distribution of click-through rates is highly skewed, with a small share of campaigns achieving extremely high CTRs. These outliers can inflate a simple average, making it less representative of what most advertisers actually experience. By using the median—which sits at the midpoint of all campaigns—we provide a more rigorous and realistic benchmark that reflects the true underlying data model and helps you set attainable performance expectations.

Key Factors Affecting Facebook Ad Costs

  • Competition within your selected industry and audience demographics
  • Ad quality and relevance score – higher quality ads can lower costs
  • Campaign objective and bid strategy
  • Timing and seasonality – costs often increase during holiday periods
  • Ad placement (News Feed, Instagram, Audience Network, etc.)

Note: This data represents industry median values and benchmarks. Your actual costs may vary based on specific targeting, ad creative quality, and campaign optimization.

Potential Advertising Impact

Major e‑commerce events could result in sharp spikes in retail competition. June holidays could disrupt typical ad pacing. Many holidays shifted to Mondays make weekend campaigns perform better.

What's a good CPI for iOS vs Android in 2025?

iOS CPIs often range from $2 to $5 or more. Android is usually cheaper, between $1 and $3. Your CPI will depend on geo, creative, and optimization goal.

Why is my app install cost higher in some countries?

Some regions like the US, UK, and Canada have higher competition and stricter privacy regulations, which drive up costs. Countries with lower purchasing power typically have cheaper CPIs.

What creatives drive the lowest CPI on Facebook?

Short videos showing app benefits, UGC-style content, and localized messaging tend to perform best. Clear CTAs and fast-paced visuals help lower your CPI.

Should I optimize for installs or in-app actions?

Optimizing for installs gets volume, but optimizing for actions like signups or purchases brings higher quality users. It depends on your goals and how much post-install behavior matters.

How do I lower CPI without tanking app retention or quality?

Align your creative with the app experience, avoid misleading ads, and exclude users who already installed. You can also test lookalike audiences based on high-quality users, not just all installers.
