LONDON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - J Sainsbury was the onlygrocer among Britain's "big four" to hold onto its market sharein the Christmas trading period, resisting pressure fromdiscounters and upmarket rivals, industry data showed onTuesday.

Aldi, Lidl and Waitrose saw sales increase 29.4 percent,17.5 percent and 6.4 percent respectively. Last week Sainsbury's posted a positive update for its thirdquarter, while both Tesco and Morrisons revealed sales falls inthe Christmas period and saw annual profit expectations reduced. Also last week Aldi and Lidl said they had enjoyed recordChristmas trading, without disclosing figures, while Waitroseand Marks & Spencer's food business reported positive figures. The Kantar data also showed Internet grocery sales over theChristmas/New Year period grew 22 percent year-on-year with 15percent of British households placing orders. It said grocery inflation was 2.5 percent for the 12 weekperiod, the lowest level since October 2012 which offers a smallrespite for hard-pressed household budgets.
