Clerico-Corporatist style of Facism will probably emerge as a popular form of government in Latin America, emerging against peasant revolutionaries/land reform from Communist-backed sources. Off the top of my head, Columbia, Central America, and Brazil seem like prime candidates in this reguard.
 
South America might be possible. In right conditions India or China too might become fascist.

Wasn't Brazil already fascist by the time it entered World War 2? As for India and China, I can see it happening under the right circumstances - say, the KMT becomes more far-right to the point where the KMT adopts fascism and isn't organized along Marxist-Leninist lines whereas India might suffer some kind of revolt or successful Japanese invasion that ends in the establishment of a fascist puppet state but the latter is unlikely.
 
Irish Republicanism could remain fascist leaning, Catholics in NI were pro-Franco and according to Irish government reports pro-German and the IRA during WWII began to drift towards fascism with the IRA newspaper War News becoming very anti-Semitic. Irish Republicans and former blueshirts were also reported as beginning to mingle in pro-German societies.

If the Irish fascist party Ailtirí na hAiséirghe can avoid falling into infighting and Clann na Poblachta doesn't steal their thunder they might be able to get a bit of success in the 1948 election, their greatest success OTL was in the 1945 local elections where they managed to take nine of the 26 seats they contested, topping the poll in two constituencies and gaining more than 11,000 first preference votes.

Vargas' Brazil was more like Spain and Portugal in that it was fascist-influenced but not outright fascist. Brazilian integralists tried to stage a putsch against Vargas in 1938 but were crushed.

Correct me if my impression is wrong, but doesn't South Korea meet most of the qualifications for a fascist regime with the intermingling of business and government? Obviously it's not classic in the grimmest sense since there's clearly significant individual freedom and dissent. Maybe it's more like early Mussolini-esque Italy?
 
A lot of Africa, especially if there's no Second Italo-Ethiopian War and the well-publicised war crimes there. Elements of national liberation movements in Africa will find fascist elements very appealing.
 
Most of the countries that could have been fascist had there own fascist movements, and the majority of places that could have gone fascist did go fascist during WW2 in Europe. For instance, I wouldn't say that Hungary was politically fascist. Horthy's whole point was depoliticization of the head of state. In WW2 they ended up under the Arrow Cross anyway though. Same thing happens with Romania and the former Yugoslavia. Perhaps their biggest mistake in that department was not recognizing an independent Serbia, which could have easily gone fascist.
