DuPont operates in two reporting segments: Healthcare & Water Technologies, which includes high-performance packaging, parts, and components for medical device and biopharma markets, and also water filtration and purification technologies, and Diversified Industrials, which includes building technologies and industrial technologies, including adhesive, wear and friction, and packaging solutions that serve the aerospace, automotive, and printing and packaging industries. For 2025, the company reported net sales of $6.85 billion, a two percent increase compared to net sales in 2024. For its Diversified Industrials segment, the company reported full-year net sales of $3.62 billion, a decrease of 3% compared to the previous year. The segment’s sub-business containing adhesives reported sales in the "low-single digits on an organic basis as strength in aerospace was offset by weakness in printing and packaging markets."

DuPont is committed to the goals of acting on climate, enabling a circular economy and making all its solutions safer by design. These goals include, but are not limited to, the utilization of renewable energy in manufacturing operations, reducing waste and water use, increasing the use of renewable, low GWP materials in its formulations, designing adhesives for recycling compatibility, converting formulations from solvent-based to water-based, and eliminating SVHC from its products. The company is also supporting adjacent industries, like power and energy, to help build better battery energy storage systems (BESS) that enable the collection and storage of renewable energy — like solar and wind — to be distributed to the power grid on demand. DuPont is working with manufacturers of BESS to utilize adhesive and thermal management materials to build storage modules that are more durable, efficient, and safe.

NOTES: In November 2025, DuPont completed the separation of its electronics business into an independent company, Qnity Electronics, Inc. In April 2026, the company completed the divestiture of its Aramids business, which includes the Kevlar® and Nomex® brands, to Arclin.
