DowDuPont Announces Plans to Split Into Three Firms
DuPont plans to focus R&D spending, about 4% of its sales, on high-return projects.

DowDuPont is the biggest chemical conglomerate in the world. It generated USD 86 billion in sales in 2018, more than any other company on the planet. That’s more than BASF in Germany (about USD 74 billion in sales), more than privately held Sabic in Saudi Arabia (about USD 33 billion in chemical sales) and more than Formosa Plastics Group in Taiwan (about USD 46 billion sales).

DowDuPont is in the process of breaking up into three of the largest chemical companies in the world. Dow will be dedicated to commodity chemical production, DuPont to specialty chemical production, and Corteva will be dedicated to agricultural chemicals.
