Detailed observation of presented data
Construction cost-per-purchase moved well above the global norm across the 13-month window. The headline: Construction averaged roughly $197 per purchase versus a global median near $48 — about four times higher and with far greater month-to-month swings. This analysis is based on $3B worth of advertising data from our dataset, which provides strong directional benchmarks. This analysis explores ad performance trends for Construction in All countries available compared to the global benchmark.
The series started at $165.63 in June 2025 and closed at $185.19 in June 2026, a net rise of about +11.8%. Across the period Construction cost-per-purchase averaged ≈$197, with a low of $144.60 (November 2025) and a peak of $324.02 (February 2026). The most dramatic run came at year-end: December 2025 → January 2026 jumped ~+56% (from $156 to $245), then surged another ~+32% into February 2026. That Feb 2026 peak was followed by a sharp retracement into March (−32%), and the series then oscillated into mid‑2026 (April–June). Absolute monthly moves averaged about $41, which translates to roughly a 21% average monthly swing relative to the period mean — a high-volatility pattern for cost-per-purchase.
Seasonally, early Q3 2025 showed moderate costs ($156–$181 range), with a softer November trough at $144.6 and a rebound into December. The calendar inflection was concentrated around the turn of the year: January–February 2026 formed a pronounced spike before a steep March correction. Spring months (March–April) cooled from the winter highs, then May rebounded toward late‑winter levels and June retreated again. These dynamics create a rhythm of spikes and pullbacks rather than a smooth seasonal curve.
Compared with the global baseline, Construction costs were consistently above market. The global benchmark averaged about $48 over the same span and stayed relatively steady (mean ≈$48, average monthly absolute movement ≈$4). Construction’s gap ranged from roughly 3.0x the global level in August 2025 to more than 7.2x in June 2026 (the latter amplified by a steep baseline drop that month). In percentage terms, Construction costs were typically 200–600% higher than the baseline; the gap widened most sharply during the January–February 2026 spike and again in June 2026 when the global baseline dipped.

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 Construction industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. Geographic targeting affects ad costs based on market competition and user engagement in different regions. 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.
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.
Note: This data represents industry median values and benchmarks. Your actual costs may vary based on specific targeting, ad creative quality, and campaign optimization.

All data is sourced from over $3B in Facebook ad spend, collected across thousands of ad accounts that use Superads daily to analyze and improve their campaigns. Every data point is fully anonymized and aggregated—no individual advertiser is ever exposed.
This dataset updates frequently as new ad data flows in. It will only get bigger and better.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Increase budget gradually, rotate creative often, and avoid overlapping audiences. Scaling too quickly can lead to audience saturation and rising CPAs.
