CTR (Click Through Rate) in Denmark

December 2024 - December 2025

Insights

Detailed observation of presented data

Introduction

Denmark’s Facebook Ads CTR story over the past year reads like a comeback arc: a deep winter trough, a choppy spring, a low-slung summer, and then a decisive surge into Q4. Across all industries, Denmark’s median CTR averaged 1.44% from November 2024 to November 2025, trailing the global benchmark at 1.81%. Yet the year ends on a high note, with Denmark’s CTR climbing from 1.78% last November to 2.81% this November—up 58%—and well above the market late in the period. 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 Denmark compared to the global benchmark.

The story in the data

  • Starting point: 1.78% CTR in November 2024.
  • Ending point: 2.81% in November 2025 (+1.03 points, +58%).
  • Average: 1.44% in Denmark vs 1.81% globally (about 21% lower).
  • Low: 0.37% in January 2025, with a secondary dip to 0.42% in July.
  • High: 3.35% in October 2025, followed by a strong 2.81% in November.

Denmark’s monthly moves were pronounced. CTR fell 38% from November to December, then plunged to January’s low. It rebounded sharply in February (+1.31 points month over month), eased through March–June (hovering around 1.0–1.3%), slipped again in July, and built momentum from August through an explosive October (+1.44 points month over month). The range from trough to peak was wide—nearly 3.0 points—versus a 0.38-point range globally. Average absolute month-to-month shift was 0.67 points in Denmark, more than 10x the global volatility of 0.06 points.

Seasonal and monthly dynamics

  • Q4 2024: Mixed. November was healthy, December softened.
  • Q1 2025: Extreme trough in January (0.37%), followed by a February rebound (1.68%) and a March cool-off.
  • Q2 2025: Steady but subdued, centered near 1.1%.
  • Q3 2025: A mid-summer lull (July 0.42%) gave way to a September lift (1.92%).
  • Q4 2025: Breakout performance. October peaked at 3.35%, November held elevated at 2.81%. The two-month average reached 3.08%, far above the global 2.00%.

Country vs. Global

Across the 13 months, Denmark outperformed the market in 5 months (November 2024, February, September, October, November 2025) and lagged in 8. The gap swung widely:

  • Underperformance was steep early: −78% vs global in January and July; −62% in August.
  • September effectively matched the market.
  • Outperformance flipped hard in Q4: +64% in October and +43% in November.
  • Overall, the global trend rose steadily (+12% from November to November), while Denmark’s path was choppier but ended much stronger (+58%).

Closing

As a Facebook Ads benchmarks snapshot, this CTR performance view shows Denmark’s all-industry market running below the global average for much of the year before surging in Q4. Understanding click-through rate dynamics for all industries in Denmark—alongside broader CPM analysis and CPC trends—helps frame country-specific ad performance against global patterns.

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 Denmark, 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.)

Note: This data represents industry median values and benchmarks. Your actual costs may vary based on specific targeting, ad creative quality, and campaign optimization.

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.
