CPM (Cost Per Mille) in Israel

June 2025 - June 2026

Insights

Detailed observation of presented data

Introduction

Israel’s cost per thousand impressions (CPM) sits well below the global benchmark but moves with a recognizable seasonal drumbeat. Over the 12 months from June 2025 to May 2026, Israel’s CPM averaged about $8.76 versus a global median of roughly $20.68 — roughly 58% lower on average. 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 Israel compared to the global benchmark.

The story in the data

The year opens in June 2025 with a low Israeli CPM of $5.21 and closes in May 2026 at $8.72 — a net increase of about 67% from the starting point. The Israel series ranged from a low of $5.21 (June 2025) to a high of $15.18 (November 2025), with a 12‑month mean of $8.76. Monthly moves were notable: the largest jump came in November (+~85% from October to November), and the biggest single-month decline followed in December (~−30%). Average monthly absolute change was about $2.84, while the standard deviation of monthly CPMs was roughly $2.50, reflecting meaningful month-to-month swing.

By contrast the global baseline sits consistently higher — monthly medians clustered between about $18.8 and $24.2, averaging $20.68 with a lower monthly volatility (std. dev. ~ $1.92). That places Israel as a lower-cost but more variable market in raw CPM terms.

Seasonal and monthly dynamics

Seasonally, both Israel and the global market show a Q4 peak, with November 2025 the standout month: Israel at $15.18 and the global baseline at $24.21. Israel’s pattern includes early-summer softness (June low), mid-summer lift (July), a fall pullback, then a pronounced Q4 spike, followed by a December ebb and a choppy Q1. March 2026 is a distinct trough for Israel ($6.31) even as global CPMs rise into the spring. April 2026 shows another uplift in Israel to about $10.30 before a moderate retreat in May.

These rhythms create recurring contrasts between higher competition months (Q4 spike) and softer pockets (early summer, March), producing a jagged but interpretable seasonal profile.

Country vs. Global

Across the year Israel trailed global CPMs every month, with the gap narrowing and widening: the narrowest relative difference occurred in November 2025 (Israel ~62.7% of global, ~37% below), while the widest gap was in March 2026 (Israel ~28.4% of global, ~72% below). On average Israel’s CPMs were about 58% lower than the global benchmark, and monthly volatility in Israel was about 30% higher than the baseline, signaling a lower-cost but more erratic pricing environment.

Understanding CPM analysis and country-specific ad costs for all industries in Israel frames how Facebook Ads benchmarks, CPC trends, CPM analysis, CTR performance, and industry ad performance compare regionally and globally — especially for country-specific evaluations like Israel.

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. Different industries see varying ad costs due to market competition, user demographics, and conversion value. For campaigns targeting Israel, advertisers should consider local market factors and user behavior. 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.

Potential Advertising Impact

CPM and CPC might rise during Passover as consumers prepare homes and plan meals. Fall holiday cluster may see media consumption fluctuate—consumers often offline during holidays, but prior week advertising demand may peak. Yom HaAtzmaut might spark tourism and leisure engagement. Hanukkah could drive e‑commerce CPMs for toys and electronics.

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.
