Dow Chemical is one of the largest chemicals producers in the world, producing key components for a broad range of industrial and consumer chemical and plastic products. The company’s history spans over 125 years and features an evolving product portfolio. In its current form, Dow is the commodity chemicals company created in 2019 from the DowDuPont merger and subsequent separations.
Dow benefits from its cost-advantaged North American operations, which use low-cost natural gas-based feedstock.
Commodity chemicals will see oversupply as capacity expansions exceed demand growth over the next several years. This will lead to lower prices and profits for Dow.
