Insights

Detailed observation of presented data

Introduction

Transportation and Logistics CTR performance across all countries spent the past 13 months running below the global Facebook Ads benchmarks and moving with noticeably sharper swings. The category opened strong in November 2024 at 1.65%, faded into an April trough, then staged two rebounds—one in late spring and a second in early Q4—before settling at 1.35% in November 2025. By contrast, the global median climbed steadily through the year, creating a widening gap through late summer and into autumn. 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 in all countries compared to the global benchmark.

The story in the data

  • Starting point vs. ending point: CTR moved from 1.65% in November 2024 to 1.35% in November 2025, an 18.6% decline.
  • Highs and lows: The high-water mark arrived early at 1.65% (Nov ’24); the low was 1.07% (Apr ’25). The full-year range was 0.58 points, or roughly 35% of the category average.
  • Average level: Transportation and Logistics averaged 1.42% CTR across the period, versus a 1.82% global average.
  • Volatility: Month-to-month absolute movement averaged 0.21 points—about four times the global baseline’s 0.05—signaling a choppier category cadence.
  • Notable moves: The steepest dips hit in March→April (−0.31 points) and August→September (−0.37). The largest rebounds followed in April→May (+0.39) and September→October (+0.42), showing quick recoveries after deeper troughs.

Seasonal and monthly dynamics

Late Q4 2024 set the tone with relatively strong engagement (1.65% in November and 1.61% in December). Q1 2025 was mixed: a brief lift in February (1.58%) bracketed by softer January and March, culminating in an April low (1.07%) that marked the category’s deepest valley. CTR then rebounded into May–June (around 1.45–1.47%), cooled into July, and slipped again in September (1.10%), the second major trough. Early Q4 brought a quick recovery to 1.52% in October before easing to 1.35% in November, a familiar late-year softening as broader platform competition intensifies.

Country vs. Global

Throughout the period, Transportation and Logistics remained below the global benchmark every month. The global median rose +16% from November 2024 to November 2025 (1.75% to 2.04%), while the category declined −19%, creating a divergent trajectory. The gap ranged from narrow in February 2025 (about 5% below the global median) to wide in September (roughly 43% below). On average, the category trailed global CTRs by about 0.40 points (around 22%). Importantly, baseline volatility was modest and upward-trending, while the category’s path was more turbulent with two pronounced troughs and quick rebounds.

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 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. 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.
