November 2024 - November 2025

Insights

Detailed observation of presented data

Introduction

Consumer Goods CTR performance across all countries spent most of the year tracking below the global all‑industry Facebook Ads benchmarks, yet with steadier momentum and a late‑year lift. The category started soft at the end of 2024, found its footing through mid‑2025, dipped in August, and closed with its strongest clicks in October–November. Despite underperforming the market in every month, Consumer Goods narrowed the gap at points and ultimately grew faster than the global curve from November to November.

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 Consumer Goods across all countries compared to the global benchmark.

The story in the data

  • Starting at 1.51% CTR in November 2024 and ending at 1.83% in November 2025, Consumer Goods rose 21% over the period.
  • The category averaged 1.64% CTR across the 13 months, ranging from a low of 1.47% in December 2024 to a high of 1.83% in November 2025.
  • Month‑to‑month movement averaged 0.07 points, with the sharpest gains in June (+0.13 points) and October (+0.13), and the biggest pullback in August (−0.12).
  • The global all‑industry baseline averaged 1.82% CTR, climbing from 1.75% in November 2024 to 2.04% in November 2025 (+16%). Global volatility was softer at 0.05 points on average.

In short: Consumer Goods delivered a lower CTR level than the market but with a stronger end‑of‑year surge.

Seasonal and monthly dynamics

  • Late Q4 softness bookended 2024, with Consumer Goods dipping from 1.51% in November to the yearly low of 1.47% in December.
  • Early 2025 showed a gradual rebound: 1.52% in January, 1.59% in February, and 1.72% by June, culminating in a summer peak of 1.79% in July.
  • August marked the cyclical trough of the second half (1.67%), followed by a steady climb into Q4 at 1.82% in October and 1.83% in November.
  • The rhythm contrasts with the global pattern, where the market’s deepest lull arrived in February (1.66%) before an uninterrupted rise to a Q4 peak above 2.0%.

Typical end‑of‑year competition is visible in the baseline’s Q4 crest, while Consumer Goods mirrored the timing with a smaller amplitude, closing the gap modestly in late summer and widening it again by October–November.

Country vs. Global

Across all countries, Consumer Goods CTR underperformed the global benchmark every month, averaging about 10% below (1.64% vs. 1.82%). The gap was narrowest in February 2025 (−4% vs. global) and June–July (−5%), and widest in November 2024 (−14%) and August 2025 (−14%). While the global trend rose steadily (+16%), Consumer Goods advanced faster from a lower base (+21%) but remained below market levels. The gap widened from H1 to H2: H1 averaged 1.58% for Consumer Goods vs. 1.73% globally (−0.15 points), whereas H2 averaged 1.76% vs. 1.96% (−0.20 points).

This framing keeps the metric focus on CTR performance; while CPC trends and CPM analysis add cost context, the click‑through benchmarks show Consumer Goods engaging more cautiously than the all‑industry market across all countries.

Understanding the Data

Insights & analysis of Facebook advertising costs

Click-Through Rate (CTR) is the percentage of impressions that resulted in a click on the Facebook ad. In the Consumer Goods 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. 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. The data shown represents median values across multiple campaigns, and individual results may vary based on ad quality, audience targeting, and campaign optimization.

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.)

What is CTR and why does it matter for Facebook ads?

CTR (Click-Through Rate) is the percentage of people who click your ad after seeing it. It's calculated by dividing total clicks by total impressions, then multiplying by 100. A high CTR indicates your ad resonates with your audience and helps improve your relevance score, which can lower your overall costs.

What's the average CTR for Facebook ads in 2025?

The average Facebook ad CTR across industries sits around 0.90-1.10%. But there's significant variation. Your specific industry, audience targeting, and campaign objectives should determine your benchmark.

Why is my Facebook ad CTR consistently low?

Low CTR usually stems from poor audience targeting, weak creative, or a disconnect between your ad content and audience needs. Your ad might simply not be standingo out enough. Check if your visuals grab attention, your copy addresses clear pain points, and your audience targeting aligns with people genuinely interested in your offer.

Is CTR still a reliable metric for ad performance in 2025?

Yes—but only in context. High CTR is a signal that your creative works, but it doesn't guarantee conversions. Use it alongside other metrics like conversion rate to get the full picture.
