Insights

Detailed observation of presented data

Key takeaways

  • This analysis looks at cost-per-purchase trends for industry Marketplaces and target country Israel compared to the global trend, based on $3B worth of advertising data from our dataset, which provides strong directional benchmarks.
  • Israel’s Marketplaces cost-per-purchase is typically far below the global baseline: the selected series has a median monthly value of 6.29 vs a global average of 49.24 (about 87% lower).
  • An extreme one-off spike in March 2025 (989.33) lifts the selected average to 97.45; excluding March, the average is 8.26.
  • Seasonality is visible: a December bump (31.42) followed by normalization in January and February. The global baseline also rises from November through March, consistent with holiday and Q1 dynamics.
  • Outside the December and March shocks, month-to-month moves are moderate, mostly between 4% and 40% (averaging roughly 25%). Including the March anomaly, volatility is very high.

Marketplaces in Israel: selected time series highlights

  • Level and distribution:
  • Average: 97.45; median month: 6.29; typical (excluding March): 8.26.
  • High: 989.33 (Mar 2025); low: 3.37 (Oct 2024).
  • Range in 9 of 11 months: 3.37–8.77, indicating consistently low acquisition costs most of the year.
  • Trend and changes:
  • First to last month: 3.37 (Oct 2024) to 4.53 (Aug 2025), a +34% increase.
  • Notable spikes/dips:
  • December uptick to 31.42 (seasonal), then -83% drop in January to 5.30.
  • March anomaly to 989.33, reversing -99% in April back to 6.29.
  • Volatility:
  • Typical months show modest shifts (e.g., -4% to +40% late spring–summer).
  • The March surge and April reset dominate overall volatility.

Global baseline context

  • Baseline average (Oct 2024–Aug 2025): 49.24.
  • High: 53.89 (Feb 2025); low: 43.19 (Nov 2024).
  • First to last month: 46.67 (Oct 2024) to 45.69 (Aug 2025), a -2% decrease.
  • Seasonality is clear: costs rise into December–March (roughly 51–54) before easing into summer (mid-40s to high-40s).

Comparative view: Israel vs. global

  • Relative level:
  • Typical Israel months (3.37–8.77) sit well below the global 45–54 band—generally “below market” by roughly 80–90%.
  • Even in December’s seasonal bump, Israel (31.42) remains about 39% below the global December level (51.53).
  • The March 2025 spike in Israel is an outlier; April–August values return to the prior low range.
  • Averages and dispersion:
  • Selected average is higher than the baseline only because of March 2025. Median (6.29) and ex-March average (8.26) confirm materially lower costs than the global benchmark.
  • Trajectory:
  • Israel shows a mild upward drift from October to August (+34%), versus a slight global easing (-2%). Despite that increase, Israel stays far below the global level in most months.

Seasonality and volatility signals

  • Seasonal pattern aligns with broader trends: costs elevate in December and early Q1, then cool in late Q2 and Q3.
  • Volatility:
  • Excluding December and March, month-to-month changes average around 25%, indicating relatively stable acquisition economics.
  • The March spike represents a singular disruption rather than a sustained regime shift.

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 Israel, 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.

Hanukkah could drive e‑commerce CPMs for toys and electronics.

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.
