Detailed observation of presented data
Transportation and Logistics cost-per-purchase moved from modestly below the global baseline for much of the year to an extreme spike in July 2026 — a story of subdued monthly costs punctuated by a single, outsized outlier. Seasonally, the dataset shows softer costs in late Q4 and multiple midwinter/midspring surges, with unusually high volatility and one clear standout month that shifts the annual picture.
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 Transportation and Logistics in All countries available compared to the global benchmark.
Across 13 months the Transportation and Logistics cost-per-purchase averaged about $48.6, compared with a global benchmark average near $47.6 — roughly a 2% premium. The industry series began at $25.45 in July 2025 and finished at $193.73 in July 2026, a rise of roughly +660% from start to finish driven almost entirely by the July 2026 jump. Monthly lows sat near $12.96 (December 2025) and highs hit $193.73 (July 2026). By contrast the global baseline ranged narrowly from about $19.69 to $55.98, with a mean of $47.6.
Transportation and Logistics was below the global benchmark in 8 of 13 months, and above it in 5 months. Typical mid-year months (February, April, October) show episodic lifts — February 2026 at ~$57 and October 2025 at ~$79 — while late 2025 (November–December) produced the year’s lowest cost-per-purchase (~$17.6 then $13.0). Volatility in the Transportation and Logistics series is pronounced: the standard deviation is roughly $46 versus about $8.6 for the global baseline, driven largely by the July 2026 outlier.
Seasonally there are visible troughs around late Q4 (December 2025 at $13) and recurring mid-spring bumps (March–April and February). Peaks appear in October 2025 ($79), February 2026 ($57), and a dramatic jump in July 2026 ($194). The December trough contrasts with a steadier global December (~$49.8), suggesting stronger seasonal compression for this industry in that month. The July 2026 spike reverses the year’s pattern and produces acute month-to-month disruption.
Viewed against the global benchmark, Transportation and Logistics exhibited wider swings and a wider range. The gap between industry and global baseline varied from about −74% (December 2025: $13 vs $49.8) to +884% (July 2026: $194 vs $19.7). Where the global trend was relatively stable (mean ~ $47.6, stdev ~$8.6), Transportation and Logistics was more volatile (mean ~ $48.6, stdev ~$46), meaning the industry frequently tracked below the global level but occasionally shot well above it.

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 Transportation and Logistics 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.
