Agrochemical Patent Expiries in 2028: Broad Spectrum Fungicides in Focus
13 June 2025, New Delhi: The year 2028 will witness the patent expiry of one of the most important broad-spectrum fungicides — Benzovindiflupyr — developed by Syngenta AG. This expiry is expected to open substantial opportunities in the fungicide segment, which remains a vital area in crop protection amidst rising disease incidences globally.
Benzovindiflupyr Patent Expiry 2028: A New Chapter in Fungicide Market
With a market size of USD 419 million in 2019, Benzovindiflupyr has established itself as a multi-purpose fungicide controlling a wide range of fungal diseases. It demonstrates excellent efficacy against blight, mildew, rust, scab, leaf spot and more. Its broad usage extends across key crops such as corn, soybean, ornamental plants, turf, and other agricultural commodities.
Benzovindiflupyr’s patent expiry in 2028 is set to unlock fresh competition in the premium fungicide space. Given its ability to control multiple pathogens across diverse crop categories, the molecule has been widely adopted in both commercial agriculture and specialty segments such as turf and ornamental farming. Post-patent expiry, generic companies are expected to launch competitive formulations, offering farmers wider choices at potentially lower costs.
2028: Competitive Dynamics in Fungicides Intensify
As Benzovindiflupyr enters the generic domain, companies will likely explore differentiated formulations and combinations to capitalize on its broad-spectrum disease control abilities. This patent expiry represents a major opening for both established players and emerging companies to strengthen their positions in the fungicide sector, ensuring that farmers have continued access to effective, affordable disease management solutions as global disease pressures escalate.
