The study by Kenshoo reveals that while desktop ad sales are still dominant for Facebook, advertisers are gradually moving over to mobile.
The social data analysed more than 2 million ad clicks and conversion over the November and December 2012 period.
When Apple iOS and Google’s Android tablets were compared, iOS had a 97% share of advertising spending on Facebook.
However, Android dominated on smartphones representing a 71% share.
"The world’s top brands have embraced Facebook mobile advertising and we expect the channel to become increasingly competitive as new devices deliver enhanced interactive experiences," said Aaron Goldman, Kenshoo CMO.
"Marketers can cater to the specific mindsets of people using Facebook on desktop computers, tablets and phones by creating targeted campaigns," he added."
A report by eMarketer predicts that Facebook will beat Twitter in mobile ads this year.
