CTR (Click Through Rate) in Brazil

December 2024 - December 2025

Insights

Detailed observation of presented data

Introduction

Brazil’s Facebook Ads CTR performance told a choppy but ultimately uplifting story across the last 13 months: consistently below the global benchmark for most of the period, then a dramatic late-year surge that briefly moved above market. The median CTR across all industries in Brazil averaged 1.02%, well under the 1.81% global average, with pronounced month-to-month swings and standout spikes in September and November 2025. Seasonal rhythms were visible—soft Q4 2024, a tentative Q1 rebound, and a Q3 whipsaw—culminating in a November high.

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 Brazil compared to the global benchmark.

The story in the data

Brazil started at 0.84% in November 2024 and finished at 2.03% in November 2025—an increase of roughly 140% year over year. Over the full span, CTR in Brazil averaged 1.02%, ranging from a low of 0.59% in August 2025 to a high of 2.03% in November 2025. Nine of the 13 months sat below 1%, underscoring a generally subdued engagement baseline before the late-year lift.

Key movements punctuate the narrative:

  • January 2025 marked an early trough (0.67%), followed by a two-month rise to March (1.12%).
  • April–June stabilized near the 0.95–0.99% band.
  • July jumped to 1.19% (+22% MoM), then August collapsed to 0.59% (−50%).
  • September rebounded sharply to 1.34% (+127%), slipped in October (0.83%), and then spiked to 2.03% in November (+145% MoM), the period’s peak.

Volatility in Brazil averaged 0.34 points per month—about six times the global month-to-month change (0.06), signaling notably more erratic CTR dynamics than the worldwide trend.

Seasonal and monthly dynamics

Seasonality showed through familiar patterns with Brazil-specific amplitude. CTR softened through Q4 2024 (0.84%–0.84%), nudged upward across Q1 2025 (0.68% to 1.12%), and held steady through Q2 around 0.97%. Q3 was the most kinetic: a July rise, an August drop to the period’s bottom, and a September rebound. Q4 2025 diverged from the prior year with an outsized November peak, lifting the quarter’s average meaningfully above Q4 2024.

Globally, the rhythm was steadier: a mild build from 1.66–1.77% in early 2025 to 1.94–2.04% across late summer and early Q4, easing to 1.96% in November.

Country vs. Global

Brazil’s CTR trailed global levels by 30–70% for most months:

  • Early period gaps were wide: November 2024 sat 52% below market; January 2025, 60% below.
  • The narrowest gap came in September 2025 (−30% vs. global), followed by an October pullback (−60%).
  • In November 2025, Brazil briefly moved above market by 3% (2.03% vs. 1.96%), its only month at or above the global benchmark.

While the global trend rose steadily (+12% from November 2024 to November 2025), Brazil’s path was choppier, swinging from deep underperformance in August (−70%) to an above-market finish in November.

Closing

Facebook Ads benchmarks highlight a year of lower-but-lifting CTR performance across all industries in Brazil: a 1.02% average versus 1.81% globally, high volatility, and a standout November surge. Understanding CTR performance trends for all industries in Brazil helps advertisers interpret engagement patterns and compare country-specific results to the global benchmark.

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. Different industries see varying ad costs due to market competition, user demographics, and conversion value. For campaigns targeting Brazil, 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. 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.
