Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]  
RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company adopted the interim period disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations." The ASU, issued in September 2022, requires disclosures intended to enhance the transparency of supplier finance programs. Specifically, the amendments require buyers in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosure of rollforward information, which is required to be disclosed annually and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to each period in which a balance sheet is presented, except for disclosure of rollforward information, which should be applied prospectively. The Company expects to early adopt the annual requirement to disclose rollforward information prospectively beginning in the 2023 annual financial statements. See Note 5 for disclosures related to the Company's supplier finance program.

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted at March 31, 2023
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-02, "Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method." The amendments permit reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received and recognizes the net amortization and income tax credits and other income tax benefits in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments also require certain disclosures in annual and interim reporting periods about an entity's tax credit programs. The new standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and the amendments must be applied on either a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating early adoption of the new guidance in 2023 and the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

REVENUE (Notes)

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] REVENUE
Revenue Recognition
The majority of the Company's revenue is derived from product sales. The Company's revenue related to product sales was 99 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. The remaining sales were primarily related to the Company's insurance operations and licensing of patents and technologies. Product sales consist of sales of the Company's products to manufacturers and distributors. The Company considers order confirmations or purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master supply agreements, to be contracts with a customer. The Company enters into licensing arrangements in which it licenses certain rights of its patents and technology to customers. Revenue from the Company’s licenses for patents and technology is derived from sales-based royalties and licensing arrangements based on billing schedules established in each contract.

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. At March 31, 2023, the Company had unfulfilled performance obligations of $963 million ($840 million at December 31, 2022) related to the licensing of technology. The Company expects revenue to be recognized for the remaining performance obligations over the next seven years.

The remaining performance obligations are for product sales that have expected durations of one year or less, product sales of materials delivered through a pipeline for which the Company has elected the right to invoice practical expedient, or variable consideration attributable to royalties for licenses of patents and technology. The Company has received advance payments from customers related to long-term supply agreements that are deferred and recognized over the life of the contract, with remaining contract terms that range up to 17 years. The Company will have rights to future consideration for revenue recognized when product is delivered to the customer. These payments are included in "Accrued and other current liabilities" and "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by operating segment and business, as the Company believes it best depicts the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows. See details in the tables below:

Contract Assets and Liabilities
The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets include amounts related to the Company's contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet invoiced. Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are recognized in revenue when the performance obligations are met. "Contract liabilities - current" primarily reflects deferred revenue from prepayments from customers for product to be delivered in 12 months or less and royalty payments that are deferred and will be recognized in 12 months or less. "Contract liabilities - noncurrent" includes advance payments that the Company has received from customers related to long-term supply agreements and royalty payments that are deferred and recognized over the life of the contract.

Revenue recognized in the first three months of 2023 from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was approximately $40 million (approximately $65 million in the first three months of 2022). In the first three months of 2023, the amount of contract assets reclassified to receivables as a result of the right to the transaction consideration becoming unconditional was approximately $30 million (insignificant in the first three months of 2022).
The following table summarizes contract assets and liabilities at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

For additional information on the Company's restructuring programs, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2022 10-K.

2023 Restructuring Program
On January 25, 2023, the Dow Inc. Board of Directors ("Board") approved restructuring actions to achieve the Company's structural cost improvement initiatives in response to the continued economic impact from the global recessionary environment and to enhance its agility and long-term competitiveness across the economic cycle. As a result of these actions the Company recorded pretax restructuring charges of $541 million in the first quarter of 2023. These actions are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2024. The following table summarizes the activities related to the 2023 Restructuring Program, including segment information:

At March 31, 2023, $256 million of the reserve balance was included in "Accrued and other current liabilities" and $77 million was included in "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets.

Severance and Related Benefit Costs
Severance benefits are provided to employees primarily under Dow's ongoing benefit arrangements and are accrued against the Corporate segment once management commits to a plan of termination. The 2023 Restructuring Program included a charge for severance and related benefit costs of $344 million for a global workforce reduction of approximately 2,000 employees. A majority of separations are intended to occur by the end of the second quarter of 2023 with the remaining occurring primarily through the end of 2024.
Asset Write-downs and Write-offs
The restructuring charge related to the write-down and write-off of assets in the first quarter of 2023 totaled $197 million. Details regarding the asset write-downs and write-offs are as follows:

Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure charges relate to the shutdown of certain polyurethanes assets and the write-off of other assets. The majority of the impacted facilities are expected to be shutdown by the end of 2024.
Performance Materials & Coatings recorded charges to rationalize its asset footprint by shutting down certain coatings assets. These facilities are expected to be shutdown by the end of 2024.
Corporate recorded charges related to the write-down of Company owned and leased, non-manufacturing facilities, primarily related to office space rationalization.

Restructuring implementation costs, primarily decommissioning and demolition activities related to asset actions, and costs associated with the Company's efficiency actions, are expected to result in additional cash expenditures of approximately $425 million, primarily through the end of 2024.

2022 Asset Related Charges
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded pretax asset related charges of $186 million due to the Russia and Ukraine conflict and the expectation that certain assets will not be recoverable. These charges included the write-down of inventory, the recording of bad debt reserves and the impairment of other assets. Asset related charges by segment were as follows: $31 million in Packaging & Specialty Plastics, $109 million in Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure, $16 million in Performance Materials & Coatings and $30 million in Corporate.

Supplier Finance Program
The Company facilitates a supply chain financing (“SCF”) program in the ordinary course of business in order to extend payment terms with vendors. Under the terms of this program, a vendor can voluntarily enter into an agreement with a participating financial intermediary to sell its receivables due from the Company. The vendor receives payment from the financial intermediary, and the Company pays the financial intermediary on the terms originally negotiated with the vendor, which generally range from 90 to 120 days. The vendor negotiates the terms of the agreements directly with the financial intermediary and the Company is not a party to that agreement. The financial intermediary may allow the participating vendor to utilize the Company’s creditworthiness in establishing credit spreads and associated costs, which may provide the vendor with more favorable terms than they would be able to secure on their own. The Company does not provide guarantees related to the SCF program. At March 31, 2023, outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under the SCF program were $290 million ($267 million at December 31, 2022), included in “Accounts payable – Trade” in the consolidated balance sheets.

A summary of the Company's commitments and contingencies can be found in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2022 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Environmental Matters
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. At March 31, 2023, the Company had accrued obligations of $1,233 million for probable environmental remediation and restoration costs ($1,192 million at December 31, 2022), including $254 million for the remediation of Superfund sites ($244 million at December 31, 2022). This is management’s best estimate of the costs for remediation and restoration with respect to environmental matters for which the Company has accrued liabilities, although it is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost with respect to these particular matters could range up to approximately two times that amount. Consequently, it is reasonably possible that environmental remediation and restoration costs in excess of amounts accrued could have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. It is the opinion of the Company’s management, however, that the possibility is remote that costs in excess of the range disclosed will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Inherent uncertainties exist in these estimates primarily due to unknown conditions, changing governmental regulations and legal standards regarding liability, and emerging remediation technologies for handling site remediation and restoration. As new or additional information becomes available and/or certain spending trends become known, management will evaluate such information in determination of the current estimate of environmental liability.

Litigation
Asbestos-Related Matters of Union Carbide Corporation
Each quarter, Union Carbide reviews asbestos-related claims filed, settled and dismissed, as well as average settlement and resolution costs by disease category. Union Carbide also considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as the nature of pending claims, trial experience of Union Carbide and other asbestos defendants, current spending for defense and processing costs, significant appellate rulings and legislative developments, trends in the tort system, and their respective effects on expected future resolution costs. Union Carbide's management considers these factors in conjunction with the most recent actuarial study and determines whether a change in the estimate is warranted. Based on Union Carbide's review of 2023 activity, it was determined that no adjustment to the accrual was required at March 31, 2023.

Union Carbide’s total asbestos-related liability for pending and future claims and defense and processing costs was $929 million at March 31, 2023 ($947 million at December 31, 2022). At March 31, 2023, approximately 25 percent of the recorded claim liability related to pending claims and approximately 75 percent related to future claims.

Groundwater Contamination
The Company is the subject of various complaints related to alleged groundwater contamination based on decades-old sales and applications of certain agricultural chemical products ("Legacy Liabilities"). The costs associated with these Legacy Liabilities were previously covered by insurance policies that have since been depleted. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company completed a study of the Legacy Liabilities now deemed to be probable and estimable based on the public reporting of sampling data and historical information to develop a reasonable estimate of the cost of pending and future claims. As a result, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $177 million, included in "Cost of sales" in the consolidated statements of income and related to Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure.

8.Estimated liability for TDCC's guarantee of Sadara's debt which is included in "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets.

For equity securities calculated at net asset value per share (or its equivalent), the Company had $84 million in private market securities and $20 million in real estate at March 31, 2023 ($92 million in private market securities and $20 million in real estate at December 31, 2022). There are no redemption restrictions and the unfunded commitments on these investments were $54 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

For assets classified as Level 3 measurements, fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs including assumptions where there is little, if any, market activity. The level 3 asset value represents the fair value of an investment in a limited liability company, accounted for as an investment in nonconsolidated affiliates. There was no unfunded commitment on the investment at March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
For liabilities classified as Level 3 measurements, fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs including assumptions where there is little, if any, market activity. The fair value of the Company’s accrued liability related to the guarantee of Sadara’s debt is in proportion to the Company’s 35 percent ownership interest in Sadara. The estimated fair value of the guarantee was calculated using a "with" and "without" method. The fair value of the debt was calculated "with" the guarantee less the fair value of the debt "without" the guarantee. The "with" and "without" values were calculated using a discounted cash flow method based on contractual cash flows as well as projected prepayments made on the debt by Sadara.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
As part of the 2023 Restructuring Program, the Company has or will shut down a number of manufacturing facilities, corporate facilities and miscellaneous assets around the world. In the first quarter of 2023, the assets associated with this plan were written down to zero, except for one corporate facility. The remaining corporate facility, which was classified as a level 3 measurement, was written down to a fair value of $16 million using unobservable inputs. In addition, impairments of leased, non-manufacturing facilities, which were classified as Level 3 measurements, resulted in a write-down of right-of-use assets to a fair value of $9 million using unobservable inputs. The impairment charges related to the 2023 Restructuring Program, totaling $197 million, were included in "Restructuring and asset related charges - net" in the consolidated statements of income and related to Packaging & Specialty Plastics ($1 million), Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure ($40 million), Performance Materials & Coatings ($49 million) and Corporate ($107 million).

The Company defines Operating EBIT as earnings (i.e., "Income (loss) before income taxes") before interest, excluding the impact of significant items. Operating EBIT by segment includes all operating items relating to the businesses; items that principally apply to Dow as a whole are assigned to Corporate.

3.These outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock and restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of including them would have been antidilutive.
