January 2025 - January 2026
Detailed observation of presented data
Consulting advertisers in Singapore spent the year buying reach well below global price levels, but with sharper swings. CPMs started modestly in January, fell to an April trough, then rebounded hard into a Q4 run-up before cooling in December. Compared to the global Facebook Ads benchmarks, Singapore’s CPMs sat at roughly half the worldwide median on average, yet moved in bigger steps month to month, with standout pivots in May and late Q4.
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 Consulting in Singapore compared to the global benchmark.
Across 2025, Consulting CPMs in Singapore averaged about 10.25, ranging from a low of 2.50 in April to a high of 18.11 in November. The year opened at 5.04 in January and closed at 9.10 in December—an 80% lift from start to finish. The most dramatic shift arrived in May, when CPMs jumped to 15.42, a fivefold rebound from April’s trough. After a mid-year data gap, the market resumed at 13.21 in September, climbed through October (15.86) to a November peak (18.11), then nearly halved in December (−50% month over month to 9.10).
Volatility was pronounced. The average absolute move across observed periods was about 4.83 points—roughly four times the global benchmark’s month-to-month change of 1.21. The spread between Singapore’s high and low (about 15.6 points) also exceeded the global range (about 7.5), signaling a choppier pricing environment for impressions in this industry-country slice.
The first third of the year trended softer: January to April drifted down from 5.04 to 2.50 before the sharp May rebound to 15.42. After June–August data gaps, CPMs re-entered the series in September and built through October and November, mirroring typical year-end competitive pressure seen worldwide. December eased to 9.10, reflecting the common late-quarter cooldown after the November high.
Grouping the late-year run, September–November averaged 15.73—about 53% above Singapore’s annual mean—underscoring a clear Q4 premium. Conversely, January–April averaged just 5.13, highlighting a soft early-year stretch with April as the clear low.
Relative to the worldwide CPM analysis, Singapore’s Consulting CPMs undercut the global median in every overlapping month. Singapore averaged 10.25 for 2025, versus 20.15 globally—about 49% lower. The gap was widest in April, when Singapore’s 2.50 sat 87% below the global 18.57. It narrowed notably in May (15.42 vs. 19.79), where Singapore was “only” 22% below the market. During Q4, Singapore averaged 14.36 versus the global 22.98—about 38% lower. The global curve climbed steadily into a November peak (25.22) and eased in December (22.04), while Singapore followed the same silhouette but with a deeper December pullback.
Across the year, Singapore’s CPM path was more volatile than the baseline: larger swings, a deeper spring dip, and a steeper Q4 surge-then-cooldown. In level terms, however, country-specific ad costs for Consulting in Singapore remained consistently below the global benchmark.
Understanding Facebook Ads CPM benchmarks for Consulting in Singapore—set against the global baseline—clarifies how country-specific ad costs moved in 2025: lower-priced impressions on average, bigger month-to-month swings, a pronounced April low, and a classic Q4 lift with a December reset.

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 Consulting industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. For campaigns targeting Singapore, 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 January (Chinese New Year), October–December (Deepavali, National Day promotions, Christmas), Mid-year retail events
CPM and CPC might rise during Chinese New Year and Deepavali for gifting, food, and apparel categories. Good Friday, Hari Raya, and Vesak Day long weekends could shift consumer behavior and spike media consumption. National Day promotions might elevate ad costs in entertainment and tourism. Singapore's small, affluent market means events can have noticeable retail impact.
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.
