  • This analysis looks at cost-per-purchase trends for industry Marketplaces and target country Argentina compared to the global trend.

Context and scope

We benchmark Facebook Ads cost-per-purchase (CPP) using monthly medians. The selected dataset covers Marketplaces in Argentina with one observed month (2024‑11). The baseline reflects the global trend from 2024‑10 to 2025‑09.

Selected data: Marketplaces in Argentina

  • Coverage: 1 month (November 2024).
  • Median CPP: 680.93.
  • Average, high, and low: all 680.93 (single observation).
  • Month-to-month change and first-to-last change: not available due to a single data point.
  • Volatility: not inferable for the selected series.

Even with one month, the level itself is informative when compared to the broader market.

  • November 2024 comparison:
  • Argentina (Marketplaces): 680.93
  • Global baseline: 43.19
  • Relative difference: about 15.8x higher (+1,476%), a clear “above market” positioning for that month.

  • Versus the global range: the global high is 53.89 (February 2025) and the low is 32.29 (September 2025). Argentina’s November figure is well above the global peak.

Interpretation for Marketplaces in Argentina vs global

Based on the single observed month, Argentina’s Marketplaces CPP is materially above market—both relative to the global reading in November and versus the global 12‑month average and peak. While seasonality for the selected segment cannot be inferred from one data point, the global pattern shows typical holiday-period increases in Q4 that extend into Q1, followed by a steady normalization and a pronounced late‑Q3 dip.

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 Marketplaces 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

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.
