Lightning Network transactions are not included as it is a sidechains that only broadcasts endpoints. However, I read that there are now over 500 BTC on Lightning Network nodes less than one year of starting to be built. That is also and incredible amount of adoption and a key factor if use for payments wants to grow!

Yep exactly, which means this increase in transactions is likely only due to increased adoption, increased trading, and the fees are staying low due to SegWit adoption.
