Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward combination of 'product' (an item for sale) and 'introduction' (the act of launching), so its meaning—launching a new product—is directly derivable from the parts. This noun–noun compositional pattern is regular in English and mirrors similar constructions in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand it.
Etymology
Product introduction comes from the simple idea of showing a new product to people for the first time, like making an introduction of a friend to a group. Imagine a shop owner holding a small event and telling customers about the new item so everyone notices it; this 'introduction' is the act of 'launching a new product' to the market.
