Facebook Ads cost-per-purchase benchmarks: monthly trends and global comparison

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

  • Key takeaways:
  • No in-market observations are available for Arts in Argentina over the period, so positioning versus the market cannot be determined from the selected data.
  • Globally, median cost-per-purchase averaged 47.82 across the last 12 months, peaking in February and hitting a notable low in September.
  • There is a clear seasonal pattern: costs rise in late Q4 and remain elevated through Q1, then cool into summer, with a pronounced dip in September.
  • Volatility is moderate overall (average month-to-month move of 3.25), punctuated by a sharp August-to-September decline.

Scope and data coverage

  • Metric: cost-per-purchase (median, monthly).
  • Industry: Arts; Country: Argentina.
  • Selected data: no monthly observations available during the period provided.
  • Baseline: global/overall series from 2024-10 to 2025-09.

Because the selected series is empty, the report focuses on the global baseline for context and seasonality. Any above/below-market positioning for Arts in Argentina cannot be assessed for this timeframe.

Global baseline trends (directional benchmark)

  • Average (12 months): 47.82
  • High: 53.89 in 2025-02
  • Low: 32.29 in 2025-09
  • First-to-last change: down 30.8% from 46.67 (2024-10) to 32.29 (2025-09)
  • Month-to-month volatility:
  • Average absolute change: 3.25
  • Largest increase: +8.34 from 2024-11 to 2024-12
  • Largest decrease: −13.40 from 2025-08 to 2025-09

Seasonality and patterning:

  • Q4 to Q1 lift: After a dip in November (43.19), costs climbed into December (51.53), stayed high through January (52.31) and reached the annual peak in February (53.89). This aligns with typical year-end demand and sustained Q1 pressure.
  • Gradual normalization: March (52.61) to May (50.97) eased slightly, before a clearer step-down in June (46.96) and a steady summer plateau in July (46.21) and August (45.69).
  • September inflection: A sharp drop to 32.29 marked the lowest point of the year, well below the 12‑month average.

How Arts in Argentina compares to the global baseline

  • Data availability: There are no monthly readings for Arts in Argentina during the window analyzed. As a result:
  • Relative positioning (above market, below average, or in line with overall trends) cannot be determined.
  • The global series serves as the best available reference point for expected seasonality and magnitude.

What marketers can take from this benchmark view

  • In the absence of local Arts data for Argentina, the global median of 47.82 and the observed Q4–Q1 elevation provide a realistic directional range and seasonal shape for cost-per-purchase expectations.
  • The unusually low September baseline value signals potential late-Q3/early‑Q4 variability to monitor when local data becomes available.

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 Arts industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. For campaigns targeting Argentina, 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 might rise significantly during Carnival, Independence Day, and Christmas season. Retail and entertainment campaigns could require increased budgets.

What's a healthy cost per purchase for ecommerce brands?

It depends on your product price and margins. Most brands aim for $10 to $50. For higher-ticket products, a higher CPA may be acceptable as long as you're maintaining a strong return on ad spend.

How does product price impact CPA benchmarks?

Higher-priced products typically have a higher CPA because people take longer to convert. That's not necessarily a problem if your margin can support it. You should measure CPA in context with AOV and LTV.

Why are my purchase costs going up despite stable ROAS?

Your AOV may be increasing, which helps maintain ROAS even if CPA rises. You could also be facing higher CPMs, lower conversion rates, or creative fatigue.

Should I use manual bidding to control CPA more effectively?

Manual bidding can help if you're struggling to stay within target CPA. It's best used by experienced advertisers who can monitor performance and adjust regularly. It gives more control, but also requires more effort.

How do I scale spend without letting CPA skyrocket?

Increase budget gradually, rotate creative often, and avoid overlapping audiences. Scaling too quickly can lead to audience saturation and rising CPAs.
