Benchmark observations based on the selected data
Philippines click-through-rate (CTR) behavior over the last 13 months tells a story of higher average engagement but extreme momentum swings. On balance, the Philippines outperformed the global benchmark modestly (average CTR 2.37% vs. global 2.04%) but showed pronounced spikes and crashes — a big rebound in early 2026 followed by a steep slide into July 2026. 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 All industries in Philippines compared to the global benchmark.
The Philippines series started at 2.04% in July 2025 and finished at 0.79% in July 2026, a decline of about 61% from start to finish. Over the period the Philippine CTR averaged roughly 2.37%, ranging from a low of 0.79% (July 2026) to a high of 4.27% (February 2026). Key monthly movements include a sharp rise from January (2.48%) into a February peak (4.27% — the highest month), followed by a retreat through March and April, a mid-year steadier run around 2.4–2.6% in May–June, then a dramatic fall to 0.79% in July 2026.
Relative to the global baseline, the Philippines led in many months — for example October 2025 (3.07% vs global 1.97%, ~56% higher) and February 2026 (4.27% vs 2.13%, roughly +101%). Conversely, August 2025 (1.47% vs 1.88%, −22%) and July 2026 (0.79% vs 2.34%, −66%) underperformed the global trend.
Volatility is a defining feature: the standard deviation of Philippines monthly CTR is about 0.85 percentage points, while the global series’ SD is around 0.13 points. Month-to-month moves averaged roughly 0.88 percentage points in the Philippines versus about 0.08 points globally — roughly 6–11× more volatile depending on the measure.
Rhythm in the Philippines data shows pockets of seasonal push-and-pull rather than a smooth seasonal curve. Q4 2025 produced a notable high in October, a dip into December, and then a strong rebound into early Q1 2026. February stands out as a distinct peak (possibly promotional or campaign-driven timing), with March–April cooling and modest mid-year strength through May–June. The final month in the series (July 2026) registers an abrupt drop, creating the largest month-over-month decline observed.
This pattern reads as episodic momentum — episodes of concentrated lift followed by rapid correction — rather than a steady up- or down-trend across quarters.
Across the 13 months the Philippines’ CTR averaged about 16% higher than the global benchmark (2.37% vs 2.04%). Yet that outperformance was inconsistent: the gap ranged from roughly +101% (Feb 2026) to −66% (Jul 2026). In other words, Philippines CTRs were often above market but substantially more volatile, producing both standout months and deep troughs relative to global CTR performance.

Facebook advertising cost benchmarks
Click-Through Rate (CTR) is the percentage of impressions that resulted in a click on the Facebook ad. Ad costs vary across industries because of competition, audience demographics, and conversion value. For campaigns targeting Philippines, advertisers should consider local market factors and user behavior. Campaign objectives affect costs because Facebook optimizes delivery for different goals. Why we use median instead of average A small share of campaigns has extremely high CTRs. Those outliers can inflate an average. The median is the midpoint across campaigns, so it better represents a typical result. The data shows median values across multiple campaigns. Results can vary with ad quality, audience targeting, and campaign optimization.

The dataset includes over $3B in Facebook ad spend from thousands of ad accounts that use Superads to analyze and improve campaigns. Every data point is anonymized and aggregated. It does not expose an individual advertiser.
The dataset updates as new ad data is available.
Late November (Black Friday/Cyber Monday), December (Christmas and Rizal Day), June–August (Independence Day and National Heroes Day), Chinese New Year (January) and Eid observances
CPM and CPC may rise around Chinese New Year, Eid, and Independence Day for food, gifts, and travel. Retail campaigns face more competition and higher CPMs in late November–December. Long weekends may reduce weekday ad inventory while increasing media consumption for weekend awareness campaigns.
CTR (Click-Through Rate) is the percentage of people who click an ad after seeing it. Calculate it by dividing total clicks by total impressions, then multiplying by 100. A high CTR can indicate that an ad resonates with its audience and may improve relevance score, which can lower overall costs.
Average Facebook ad CTR across industries is around 0.90-1.10%. Use your industry, audience targeting, and campaign objectives when choosing a benchmark.
Low CTR can result from audience targeting, creative, or a mismatch between ad content and audience needs. Check whether the visuals draw attention, the copy addresses clear pain points, and the targeting reaches people interested in the offer.
CTR is useful in context. A high CTR can signal that creative works, but it does not guarantee conversions. Review it with metrics such as conversion rate.
