Understand how your CPC compares. Dive into benchmark data by industry, region, and campaign type
January 2025 - January 2026
Detailed observation of presented data
Textiles CPCs across all countries ran well below the global benchmark for most of the year, but the path wasn’t quiet. After a soft December 2024, costs lifted through early spring, plunged in May, and then rebounded sharply into a June peak before easing into late Q3 and stabilizing in Q4. The market showed bigger month-to-month swings than the broader benchmark, with a dramatic May–June whipsaw that doubled CPCs in a single month.
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 Textiles in all countries compared to the global benchmark.
For context, the global benchmark averaged $1.13 over the same period, with a narrower range—low of $1.05 (December 2025) and high of $1.30 (November 2025)—and far lower volatility (average monthly change of $0.07).
These rhythms align with common Facebook Ads benchmarks: broader markets often see increasing competition into late Q4, while Textiles in aggregate displayed a mid-year dislocation followed by a controlled glide into year-end.
Textiles CPCs across all countries consistently priced below the global average. The full-period Textiles mean ($0.76) was 33% lower than the $1.13 global benchmark. The gap varied widely:
While the global trend drifted lower over the year (−18% from December 2024 to December 2025), Textiles closed higher (+48%) after a choppier path and a Q2 inflection.
Viewed through Facebook Ads benchmarks, CPC trends for the Textiles industry across all countries were distinctly below-market—cheaper than the global average, but notably more volatile, with a May low and June peak defining the year. Understanding CPC performance for Textiles globally helps marketers benchmark country-specific ad costs, interpret CPM analysis in context, and gauge how CTR performance and competitive intensity may influence cost dynamics versus the global baseline.
Insights & analysis of Facebook advertising costs
Cost Per Click (CPC) is the amount advertisers pay each time a user clicks on their Facebook ad. In the Textiles 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.

CPC (Cost Per Click) is what you pay each time someone clicks on your ad, on any Facebook Ads placement. It's calculated by dividing your total spend by the number of clicks received. Facebook Ads lists Clicks, Link Clicks and Outbound Clicks separately. The former is the sum of all types of clicks (including, for example, clicks to your profile page, to a link or to a comment).
The truth is that varies, so play with our tool to get some benchmarks that are relevant to you. CPC values are highly dependent on the region, industry and campaign objective. The US is one of the most expensive markets.
Several factors affect CPC: your audience targeting, competition in your industry, ad relevance score, and creative performance. If your ad isn't getting engagement or relevance is low, CPC tends to spike.
CPC spikes usually happen because of increased competition in your target audience, seasonal trends (like holidays), poor ad relevance scores, or algorithm changes. Check if your audience targeting has become too narrow or if your creative is showing fatigue.
Yes, there's a noticeable difference between platforms. Mobile CPCs often run lower than desktop. How many times do check Instagram on your phone and how often do you open it in your computer? There's simply much more mobile inventory. Tip: segment your performance data by placement to understand where your clicks are coming from. Spoiler: it's likely all mobile.
For most businesses, optimizing for conversions will deliver much better ROI than focusing purely on CPC. A low CPC is meaningless if those clicks don't convert. However, if you're running awareness campaigns or some kind content promotion, CPC optimization might potentially make sense, although most experts have switched to conversion optimization by now.
Your specific audience targeting, creative quality, bidding strategy, and account history all influence your CPC. Industry averages provide a reference point, but your historical performance is a more reliable benchmark for setting expectations and measuring improvement.
Instagram CPCs are generally slightly higher due to stronger purchase intent and higher competition among advertisers. But it depends on the audience and creative.
