Detailed observation of presented data
The headline: Transportation and Logistics cost-per-purchase (CPP) was choppy for the year, generally running near the global benchmark but punctuated by an extreme June 2026 spike that reshaped the story. 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 compared to the global benchmark.
Across 13 months (June 2025–June 2026) the Transportation and Logistics CPP averaged about $51.55, with values ranging from a low of $12.96 in December 2025 to a sky-high $209.22 in June 2026. The series began at $45.71 in June 2025 and closed the window at $209.22 — a roughly +358% change from start to finish driven entirely by the June 2026 outlier.
Highs and lows: besides the June 2026 peak, notable highs were $79.00 in October 2025 and $57.18 in February 2026; the deepest troughs were $12.96 (Dec 2025) and $17.59 (Nov 2025). Month-to-month movement was substantial: median month-over-month absolute change was roughly 68%, with an average absolute monthly swing around 134% (the mean is skewed by the June spike). Statistically, volatility is high — the coefficient of variation for the Transportation and Logistics series is about 95% (SD ≈ $49 on a mean of $51.6).
A late-year trough is visible: November–December 2025 mark the lowest CPPs of the cycle ($17.59 and $12.96), followed by a rebound in early Q1 2026 (January–February climbed back toward $31–$57). October 2025 also shows an anomalous elevation ahead of the late-year drop. Overall rhythm is irregular — alternating sharp declines and steep recoveries month-to-month — and dominated by outliers rather than a smooth seasonal ramp. The June 2026 spike dwarfs prior monthly peaks and stands out as an anomaly in the rhythm.
Against the global baseline, Transportation and Logistics is more volatile and only marginally more expensive on average over the full window. The global benchmark averaged about $48.18 for the same months; the Transportation and Logistics average of $51.55 is roughly +7% above that baseline. That gap is misleading: excluding the June 2026 outlier, the category averaged approximately $38.41 — about 20% below the global benchmark. Month-level comparisons show eight months where Transportation and Logistics ran below global CPPs and five months above; the gap swings from roughly −74% (Dec 2025 vs global) to +720% (Jun 2026 vs global) depending on the month. In short: Transportation and Logistics exhibits more volatility and more extreme month-to-month divergence than the broader market.
Understanding Cost Per Purchase benchmarks for Transportation and Logistics across All countries, and how they compare to Facebook Ads benchmarks and broader CPM analysis, highlights the magnitude of monthly swings in country-specific ad costs and the uneven rhythm of industry ad performance.
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.
