Advancements in techniques to increase the shelf life of processed food and still provide the best quality, especially for meat products, are accelerating the growth of the global market.

The pate, which originally contained liver of chicken and other poultry, is now manufactured using beef, pork, and fish. Moreover, some manufacturers have introduced vegetarian pate, which is generally made up of cheese. For instance, The Tapas Lunch Co. provides a variety of pates such as Spicy Iberian, Black Pudding, Manchego Cheese, and Iberican.

In Europe, meat spreads are most commonly consumed with baguette and crispy toasts.

Balltone is another popular dish in which pate is used as a filling to the chicken breast. This food product is most popularly consumed in the form of a spread, however as a result of innovation, it is also consumed as a loaf or in slices.

The chicken pate held the largest share of 35.4% in 2018 owing its low cost and high source of proteins. Meat spread was originally made using chicken and duck meat, therefore these categories have a larger market share and are popular.
