You can make a use of INCLUDE function in salesforce,
Try using something along following lines,

IF(INCLUDES( Product_Type__c, "TYPEA"), "TYPEA", NULL) + BR() +
IF(INCLUDES( Product_Type__c, "TYPEB"), "TYPEB", NULL) + BR() +
IF(INCLUDES( Product_Type__c, "TYPEC"), "TYPEC", NULL)
+
+
+
do this for all the possible types..

Hope this helps!

Can we directly get this multiple values(picklist field) separted by comma under the Text formula ? This is not prpper solution if we add new value to picklist field then we must need to update formula field as well.

I understand but I am not sure if there is a way around it yet.
