Child porn was, as far as I remember, made illegal because 2 million children was used in it's production. Now that number is 5 million.

Is that five million a year, or five million total, including the original two million? This isn’t saying anything about whether more children are being abused now.

Given how ubiquitous cameras are, I can fully imagine more pictures being taken, though.

It's just a number taken out of thin air, just like the original 2 million.
