The analysis is based on $3B worth of advertising data from our dataset, which provides strong directional benchmarks.

Scope and framing

This analysis looks at cost-per-purchase trends for industry Design and target country Colombia compared to the global trend. Because the selected dataset contains no monthly medians for the period, we report the global baseline to contextualize market-level Facebook Ads benchmarks.

Selected data summary (Design, Colombia)

  • Data availability: No monthly median values were provided for Design in Colombia. As a result, averages, highs/lows, and volatility for the selected segment cannot be calculated.
  • Relative positioning: With no observed values, we cannot classify the segment as above market, below average, or in line with overall trends.

Global baseline trend (all industries/countries)

  • Average: 47.82 across the 12 months (Oct 2024–Sep 2025).
  • High/low: Peak at 53.89 in February 2025; trough at 32.29 in September 2025. Range: 21.60 points.
  • First-to-last change: Down 30.8% from 46.67 (Oct 2024) to 32.29 (Sep 2025).
  • Volatility: Mean absolute month-to-month change ≈ 3.25. The sharpest moves were December’s rise (+8.34 vs November) and September’s drop (-13.40 vs August). A secondary downswing occurred in June (-4.01 vs May).

Seasonal patterns and timing effects

  • Q4 to early Q1 elevation: Costs increased into December (51.53) and stayed high in January (52.31) and February (53.89), consistent with peak demand during holiday and post-holiday periods.
  • Gradual cooling: From March (52.61) through August (45.69), costs trended lower within a relatively tight band (mid-40s to low-50s).
  • Late-Q3 dip: September marked a pronounced drop to 32.29, the lowest point in the series.

Comparison perspective

  • Without Design-in-Colombia values, a direct “above market” or “below average” assessment versus the global baseline is not possible for this period.
  • The global context suggests that, absent local data, most months sat in the mid-to-high 40s with seasonal elevation in Dec–Feb and a step-down into late Q3.

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 Design 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.

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.
