Understand how your CPC compares. Dive into benchmark data by industry, region, and campaign type
November 2024 - November 2025
Detailed observation of presented data
New Zealand’s Textiles market ran on two speeds this year: a deep, quiet trough through late summer followed by a sharp late-Q3 surge that briefly vaulted costs above the world average. While the global Facebook Ads benchmark for CPC drifted lower and stayed stable, New Zealand’s pattern was choppier, with larger month-to-month swings and a September spike that reset the narrative.
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 New Zealand compared to the global benchmark.
Across November 2024 to September 2025, CPC for Textiles in New Zealand averaged 0.60 per click. The period opened at 0.80 in November, eased to 0.71 in December, then dropped into a Q1 trough: 0.34 in January and the low of 0.27 in February. From there, costs rebuilt gradually through spring (March–June ranged 0.33–0.48), accelerated in July (0.50) and August (0.76), and culminated in a September high of 1.59.
The rhythm was classic “soft start, strong finish,” but amplified. Q4 2024 ran relatively elevated for this market (0.80 in November, 0.71 in December) before the usual early-year softness: Q1 averaged just 0.32. Spring brought stabilization (April–June clustered between 0.36 and 0.48), then momentum built through Q3. July and August marked a clear climb, and September delivered the outlier peak at 1.59 — arriving just ahead of the period when competition typically intensifies globally.
Relative to the global Facebook Ads benchmarks, New Zealand’s Textiles CPCs were consistently below market for most of the year, then briefly flipped above:
In short, while the global CPC trend eased steadily through the period, New Zealand Textiles costs diverged with a late surge that broke a year-long pattern of sub-benchmark pricing.
Understanding Facebook Ads CPC benchmarks for the Textiles industry in New Zealand reveals a year defined by a Q1 trough, steady mid-year rebuilding, and a September spike that briefly moved above global costs. These CPC trends provide a clear view of country-specific ad costs and industry ad performance relative to the global benchmark.
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. For campaigns targeting New Zealand, 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.
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.

Late November–early December (Black Friday/Cyber Monday), Christmas season (Boxing Day sales), Mid‑year promotions (Matariki in June), Back-to-school (late January/early February)
CPM and CPC might rise around Waitangi Day and ANZAC Day as public events increase media consumption. Matariki is new public holiday with growing awareness—advertising may see elevated competition. Late November–December Black Friday/Cyber Monday could drive ad costs significantly. Regional anniversary holidays may cause local inventory shifts.
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.
