This is because the water content in the concrete will evaporate and it will shrink.

Concrete shrinks after drying due to the voids are filled by air after drying. It is considerably filled by water. Water will evaporate from that place by drying. . Thus it shrinks.

Concrete shrinks after casting due to the chemical reaction known as HEAT OF HYDRATION, due to this action the water present in concrete will evaporate as per the required period. Finally the loss of water in concrete cause shrinkage in concrete.
