CTR (Click Through Rate) for Transportation and Logistics

February 2025 - February 2026

Insights

Detailed observation of presented data

Introduction

Transportation and Logistics CTR on Facebook Ads spent most of 2025 running below the global benchmark, then spiked dramatically to start 2026. Across all countries, the industry’s click-through-rate averaged 1.38% through 2025 versus a 1.84% global average, a consistent underperformance of roughly 25%. The monthly rhythm was choppy: a brief lift in February, a spring slide into April, a soft September, and only a modest October bounce—followed by an outlier surge to 4.75% in January 2026 that sharply diverged from prior months. 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

Transportation and Logistics CTR began 2025 at 1.50%, ticked up to a local high of 1.58% in February, then fell to its yearly low at 1.07% in April. The category recovered into May (1.47%) and August (1.45%), but momentum faded in September (1.10%) before a modest rebound in October (1.51%). The year closed at 1.44%, a 4% decline from January, keeping 2025’s average at 1.38%. Month-to-month volatility averaged 0.22 percentage points in 2025—over three times the global baseline’s 0.07 points—signaling a more uneven engagement profile.

The standout movement came after the calendar turned: January 2026 jumped to 4.75%, more than tripling December’s level and marking the period’s clear high. Including that single spike lifts the full-period (Jan 2025–Jan 2026) average to 1.64%, but 2025’s month-by-month profile remained notably lower and more variable than the broader market.

Seasonal and monthly dynamics

The category’s seasonal rhythm differed from the typical platform pattern. While many advertisers see stronger engagement into Q4, Transportation and Logistics did not show a sustained fourth-quarter lift: October rose to 1.51% but November slipped to 1.36% and December settled at 1.44%. The softer stretch ran from March through April (1.38% → 1.07%), with a secondary lull in September (1.10%). The strongest pockets were February and October, yet both peaks were moderate and short-lived relative to the year’s choppiness.

Country vs. Global

Compared with the global CTR trend, the category tracked well below market most of the year. The gap narrowed to just 4% in February (1.58% vs. 1.65%), but widened to 42% in September (1.10% vs. 1.89%). Across 2025, Transportation and Logistics averaged 1.38% while the global benchmark averaged 1.84%, placing the category about 25% below market. The global trajectory climbed steadily through the year (+24% from January to December, peaking at 2.10% in December), whereas the category slipped slightly over the same span (−4%) and displayed much sharper monthly swings. January 2026 flipped the script: the category’s 4.75% towered 128% above the global 2.08%, standing out as a pronounced outlier against prior underperformance.

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.
