Detailed observation of presented data
Construction CPMs ran consistently above the global baseline for much of the 13-month window, but the story is one of momentum swings — a Q4 spike, a sharp year-end dip, and a muted summer trough. 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 Construction in All countries available compared to the global benchmark.
Cost-per-thousand-impressions (COST_PER_THOUSAND_IMPRESSIONS / CPM) for Construction averaged about $23.32 across the period (June 2025–June 2026), versus a global median baseline of roughly $20.76 — an aggregate premium near +12%. Construction began the window at $24.45 in June 2025 and finished at $20.55 in June 2026, a decline of about 16% from start to finish.
Highs and lows: the sector peaked at $26.56 in November 2025 and hit its low of $20.55 in June 2026 — a peak-to-trough swing of roughly $6.01, or about −22.6% from the high. Notable monthly moves include the November spike to $26.56, followed by a steep December drop to $20.91 (a roughly −21% fall month-over-month). January 2026 showed a rebound to $24.74 before the first half of 2026 settled into the low $20s.
Volatility: month-to-month absolute changes averaged about $2.08 (≈9% of the Construction mean), compared with baseline monthly moves of about $1.48 (≈7% of the baseline mean). In other words, Construction CPMs were roughly 40% more volatile in absolute monthly movement than the overall benchmark during this period.
Seasonality shows a clear Q4 upward pressure with a shared November peak in both Construction and the baseline. After that Q4 high, Construction experienced a sharper year-end correction than the global median, dropping more abruptly into December. January produced a notable rebound for Construction (to about $24.74), while the global baseline softened to the high teens — a divergence that narrowed and then reversed over spring.
Early-year months (February–March 2026) settled into lower, more variable CPMs for Construction (around $21.5–$22.0), then drifted modestly higher in April before easing into May–June. The pattern reads as an intensified Q4 competition pulse, a pronounced December correction, and a choppy first half of the following year.
Relative gap dynamics shifted meaningfully: Construction ran as much as ~31% above the global benchmark (notably in June 2025 and January 2026) and moved to about 6% below the baseline by June 2026. Across the window the global trend was steadier; Construction’s path was more uneven — higher peaks and deeper retracements — producing the elevated average and greater month-to-month swings.

Insights & analysis of Facebook advertising costs
Cost Per Mille (CPM) is the cost advertisers pay for 1,000 impressions of their Facebook ad. In the Construction 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.
CPMs are heavily influenced by competition, seasonality (e.g., Q4 costs more), audience size, and ad quality. Smaller audiences and lower relevance scores often lead to higher CPMs.
Different campaign objectives, bidding strategies, and even time of day can change your CPM. For example, conversion campaigns usually have higher CPMs than traffic ones. Also, broad targeting tends to drive lower CPMs.
In most industries, CPMs range from $5 to $18 depending on the region and objective. Retail and e-comm campaigns often sit at the higher end. Our live data above shows a breakdown by country and industry.
Both matter, but audience quality (intent + match with your offer) usually has more impact than pure size. However, extremely tight audiences often lead to expensive CPMs due to limited delivery opportunities.
Depends on your goal. For awareness, CPM is more relevant. For performance campaigns, CPC and CPA matter more. But all are connected—inefficient CPMs can inflate your entire funnel.
