What this analysis covers

This report summarizes Facebook Ads benchmarks for cost-per-app-install, framing Wine and Spirits in France against the global baseline. Because the selected dataset contains no entries, the comparison is directional and relies on the global trend to contextualize seasonality and volatility.

Selected dataset (Wine and Spirits, France)

  • Data availability: No monthly data points were returned for the selected filter (industry: Wine and Spirits; country: France).
  • As a result, averages, highs/lows, month-to-month changes, and percent change for the selected dataset cannot be calculated.

Global baseline overview

  • Average across the period: 11.85
  • High: 26.21 in June 2025
  • Low: 1.98 in September 2024
  • Range: 24.23 between the low and high
  • Change from first to last month: +1,062% (from 1.98 in September 2024 to 22.99 in September 2025)
  • Volatility: Average absolute month-to-month change of approximately 6.31, signaling substantial variability.

Seasonality and volatility in the global trend

  • Q4 pulse: A clear run-up from October (6.20) to November (14.28), followed by a December easing (8.52). This reflects a typical holiday build-up peaking before year-end, then moderating.
  • Early-year softness and rebounds: January (6.36) dipped, with rebounds in February (11.36) and April (11.51).
  • Summer spike: The most pronounced increase occurred from May to June (+15.78, +151%), the highest monthly level across the series, followed by a sharp July correction (−13.86, −53%).
  • Late-summer to early-fall lift: August (15.00) and September (22.99) rose again, suggesting late-Q3/early-Q4 demand pressures.

Comparison: selected dataset vs. baseline

  • Because there are no in-market observations for Wine and Spirits in France, we cannot determine whether France is above market, below average, or in line with overall trends.
  • Practically, the global series offers a directional benchmark: marketers should expect elevated costs around November, notable summer spikes (especially June), and a generally volatile environment over the period studied.

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 Wine and Spirits industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. For campaigns targeting France, 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

CPM and CPC might increase during spring holidays when leisure and travel campaigns see higher engagement. Extended 'ponts' (bridge days) in May could create long weekends with lower weekday ad inventory. Late November and December feature steep increases in ad competition. Christmas season may drive peak ad volumes.

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.
