The thing about the online porn industry is that it's highly diversified which leads a lot of people into making wild assumptions about its size. I doubt porn traffic is that high. Stats show that one in three Internet users are viewing porn, but the thing is that porn isn't something you can spend more than 10-20 minutes consuming[1]. So if we say that the average user spends some three hours online on average every day[2], then porn is about 5% of that time. So one in three users online spend 5% of their time watching porn. In total I'd guess that doesn't account for more than 10% of global traffic, taking under consideration that video consumes much more bandwidth than other forms of content.
That's all back of the envelope calculations off course.
