Morphology
The components 'break' (separate/move away) and 'out' (toward the exterior) give a sense of moving or revealing something outward, which can be extended to presenting a product. However, the commercial sense of formally 'launching' or 'introducing' a product is a metaphorical extension rather than a direct compositional meaning, so a B1 learner who knows the words might not reliably infer this specific usage.
Etymology
Break out for skin problems comes from the picture of spots or a rash suddenly appearing on the skin, as if the skin had broken and the spots came out, so it means 'to develop spots or a rash'.
