CPM (Cost Per Mille) for Transportation and Logistics

December 2024 - December 2025

Insights

Detailed observation of presented data

Introduction

Transportation and Logistics CPMs spent most of the year priced below the global Facebook Ads benchmarks, then staged a sharp Q4 2025 lift that narrowed the gap to near parity. Across all countries, CPMs started elevated in November 2024, fell hard into February’s trough, stabilized through summer at a mid-$12 band, and then surged in October–November. Volatility was meaningfully higher than the market, with several standout swings: a deep February dip and a rapid autumn rebound.

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 across all countries compared to the global benchmark.

The story in the data

  • Starting at $17.69 in November 2024, Transportation and Logistics CPMs ended at $22.73 in November 2025, a 28% lift year over year.
  • The average CPM across the period was $13.20, versus a $20.10 global average — roughly 34% lower than the market.
  • The low point arrived in February 2025 at $5.47; the high came in November 2025 at $22.73, creating a wide $17 range. By contrast, the global range was narrower (about $6.9).
  • Month-to-month movement averaged a $2.49 swing, notably more volatile than the global benchmark’s $1.39.

Key monthly shifts:

  • A sharp holiday-season reset from November to December 2024 (-28%), followed by a deeper slide into February (-56% vs January).
  • A steady recovery from March through September, largely holding in a $12–$13 band.
  • A decisive Q4 2025 surge: +41% in October and +25% in November, pushing CPMs to the annual high.

Seasonal and monthly dynamics

Seasonality presented in two distinct arcs. First, a winter trough: January ($12.35) drifted downward to February’s low ($5.47), with a rebound beginning in March ($7.99) and consolidating across Q2. From May to September, CPMs settled into a plateau averaging roughly $12.66, suggesting a calm mid-year rhythm. The second arc was an autumn run-up: October leapt to $18.12, and November peaked at $22.73 — a late-year acceleration consistent with heightened competition in Q4. Notably, December 2024 ran counter to that pattern at $12.67, highlighting year-to-year variability.

Country vs. Global

Transportation and Logistics CPMs were consistently below market for most of the year, underperforming the global benchmark by:

  • 26–40% in late 2024,
  • 36–70% through Q1 and early Q2 2025 (widest gap in February at 70% below market),
  • Gradually narrowing to roughly 34–36% below throughout summer,
  • Closing sharply in Q4 2025: 15% below in October and just 8% below in November (the narrowest gap of the period).

While the global trend was comparatively steady (+3% from November 2024 to November 2025), Transportation and Logistics was choppier, with deeper troughs and a stronger late-year rebound across all countries.

Understanding the Data

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 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.

Why we use median instead of average

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.

Key Factors Affecting Facebook Ad Costs

  • Competition within your selected industry and audience demographics
  • Ad quality and relevance score – higher quality ads can lower costs
  • Campaign objective and bid strategy
  • Timing and seasonality – costs often increase during holiday periods
  • Ad placement (News Feed, Instagram, Audience Network, etc.)

Note: This data represents industry median values and benchmarks. Your actual costs may vary based on specific targeting, ad creative quality, and campaign optimization.

What affects CPM rates on Facebook Ads?

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.

Why does my CPM vary so much between campaigns?

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.

What's a competitive CPM for 2025?

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.

Does audience size or targeting affect CPM more?

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.

Should I worry more about CPM or CPC?

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.
